Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium (about 450g)
• Tahini - 4 tablespoons (60g)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (30ml)
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon (15ml)

• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon (3g)
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon (1g)
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish)

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create zoodles, then set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix tahini, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, water, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create the sauce.
