Veggie Noodles with Spiced Tahini sauce

Tahini contains a variety of vitamins and minerals. It’s also rich in anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats.
The best Tahini is mildly nutty, creamy, and savory—you will want to eat it with a spoon. It’s gentle,subtle and luxurious, with a texture like a silky nut butter.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups spiralized veggie noodles ( i use cucumbers)
  • bell pepper
  • 1 cup spiced tahini sauce (recipe below)
  • chopped cilantro

Directions:

Wash vegetables  thoroughly.Using a spiralizer, spiralize your vegetables into noodles. Give your veggie noodles a slight squeeze to release excess water content(especially if using cucumbers).

Cook noodles as needed

Place into a large bowl.

Slice  your red bell pepper into thin strips.

Toss together veggie noodles, Tahini sauce and toss until coated.

Top with chopped cilantro.

Serve as a side dish or with a nice piece of grilled chicken or fish.
