Easy Summer Dinner

It's hot out. No matter where you're reading this you're likely sweaty. You don't want to cook anything. You don't want to think. You just want some food, but nothing too fattening for swimsuit season. And it has to be tasty.

Solution? Raw noodles and almond alfredo sauce.


Ingredients
- 1 zucchini (or summer squash)
- Water
- 1/3 cups raw almonds
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano
- Salt n peppa
- Olive oil and tomato to garnish

How To
1: peel the zucchini. Discard the skin and use the somewhat starchy inside as noodles. Peel off ribbons until you reach the seeds
2: in a blender combine the almonds, garlic, thyme, oregano, and water. Add about 1/2 cup water, more if necessary, until the sauce has the consistency of hummus. I like it thick
3: put noodles and sauce in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
4: drizzle olive oil and add diced tomatoes
5: enjoy!

Yep, it's that simple. Play around with the sauce and see what you like. It's hard to go wrong.
