Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil for a milder taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Add arugula, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese to a food processor and pulse until chopped. Add the olive oil and pulse again until the desired consistency is reached. Serve over warm or cold zoodles with chopped cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.
