This recipe has been on my mind for a while now, and I finally got a chance to try it out with a group of friends this weekend.<\/p>\n

And let me tell you: It was a hit!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone loved it so much.<\/p>\n

It’s an easy dish to make if you have a julienne peeler or other tool to turn your zucchini into spaghetti.<\/p>\n

And it’s perfect for those of us on special diets.<\/p>\n

It’s low in carbohydrates, high in healthy fats, and Paleo-friendly.<\/p>\n

Leave out the serrano ham and add avocado if you want to make it vegetarian or vegan.<\/p>\n

Leave the walnuts unroasted and keep the zucchini out of the boiling water if you want to go 100% raw.<\/p>\n

The pesto is a real highlight of this dish. It’s easy to make and can be adjusted to your taste.<\/p>\n

I used 1.5 medium-hot chiles, but next time I might use two.<\/p>\n

I always toast the nuts for more flavor and use olive oil for its health benefits and delicious nutty flavor.<\/p>\n

The sun-dried tomatoes add a little extra umami. You can add more if you like your pesto sweeter.<\/p>\n

All in all, this pesto is an explosion of flavor that is the perfect complement to fresh, watery zucchini.<\/p>\n

It can also be used as a dipping sauce, spread, or pasta sauce because it can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.<\/p>\n

It was the perfect lunch for four, served with sliced avocado and a soft-boiled egg.<\/p>\n

It filled us up without weighing us down, and the fresh figs were the perfect complement to the salty serrano and spicy pesto.<\/p>\n

I hope you all try this recipe. Let me know what you think!<\/p>\n

Happy cooking to you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
