Description

Spiralized zucchini noodles are tossed with fresh basil, lime, and ginger for a quick and refreshing side dish. I serve these with grilled chicken and pineapple skewers.

Ingredients
  • 1 large zucchini
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 large basil leaves
  • 1 (1 inch) piece ginger root, peeled and sliced
  • ½ lime, juiced
Directions
  1. 1. Cut zucchini in half to help it fit in the spiralizer. Run each half through the large teeth of a vegetable spiralizer. Put zucchini noodles into a glass bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss with your hands to mix. Let rest for 10 minutes to remove excess water. Rinse and pat dry.
  2. 2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini noodles, basil leaves, and ginger. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the noodles are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Do not stir so zucchini noodles stay intact. Drizzle with lime juice and toss to coat. Serve hot.
