• YIELD: 2 Servings
• PREP: 10 mins
• COOK: 10 mins
• READY IN: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 Zucchini Spiralized or Julienned
• 1 Carrot Spiralized or Julienned
• 1/4 Cup Raw Tahini
• 1/2 Cup Orange Juice
• 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
• 5 or 6 Fresh Basil Leaves
• Small Handful of Corinader Leaves
• 1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1 Tbs Poppy Seeds
• 1 Tbs Hemp Seeds Hulled
• 1/4 Avocado Sliced & Roughly Mashed

Instructions

1. Sprinkle the zucchini and carrot with some sea salt and leave it in a colander- the salt will draw out excess moisture and make the noodles tender and able to absorb new flavours
2. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes
3. In a blender, blend the tahini, orange and lemon juice, basil and coriander leaves
4. Add cayenne pepper and pulse again- taste for spices, and add some fresh pepper or more orange juice for sweetness
5. Rinse the noodles very well, and squeeze out excess moisture with your hands
6. Gently toss the noodles though the sauce- you want to just coat the noodles- not drown them!
7. Sprinkle with the hemp and poppy seeds, and top with avocado
8. You may also want to drizzle some pomegranate molasses over this- the tartness brings out the nutty goodness of the tahini sauce
