  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seed oil

Instructions
  1. Prepare the zucchini into spaghetti strands with a spiralizer. Alternatively you may slice the zucchini into long thin strands with a knife or vegetable peeler but this is more time consuming.

  3. Prepare sauce by blending all remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  4. Squeeze and drain excess fluids from zucchini.
  5. Place individual portions of zucchini noodles on serving plates.
  6. Top with sauce and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or basil.
Notes
For extra flavor and texture you can add a couple of tablespoons of chopped olives or sundried tomatoes to the sauce after blending. 
You may also substitute fresh rosemary in place of oregano.
