I’ve been so inspired to cook ever since we got our kitchen remodeled. Every day I’m trying to think of tasty recipes to try out! I was inspired to make this meal after having the Pesto Zucchini Noodles bowl from Veggie Grill. Now, this has no pesto or beyond meat sausage so I’d be lying to you if I said it taste the same. But I loved the idea of having an arugula and zucchini noodle base and added my own veggies and protein instead. Everything I used is from Trader Joe’s!
What you’ll need:
- Wild Arugula
- Zucchini noodles (frozen)
- Asparagus
- Red onions
- Mushrooms
- Organic tomatoes on the vine
- High protein firm tofu
- Lemon
- Minced garlic
- Chili onion crunch
- Red pepper
- Everything but the bagel seasoning
- Black truffle seasoning
- Pink salt crystals
- Pepper
- Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
Prepare the frozen zucchini noodles by placing them in a medium-sized skillet at medium heat. Cover with a lid for about 10 mins.
Take a block of tofu and break it apart into pieces. Drizzle a little olive oil in a skillet and add the tofu. You can season the tofu to your personal liking, but I used salt, pepper, red pepper, everything but the bagel, black truffle, chili onion crunch, and minced garlic. Cook until it gets lightly brown.
Chop up your asparagus, red onion, and mushrooms and sauté in a skillet. Season to your liking.
Slice up your tomato and season with salt.
Place wild arugula in a bowl and drizzle with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and the juice of half a lemon. Mix together to ensure the arugula is evenly coated.
Once the zucchini noodles are ready, drain the water from the skillet and drizzle the noodles with the same olive oil and lemon juice. Season the noodles with salt and pepper and mix all together. Add the noodles on top of the wild arugula.
Add the tomato slices and sautéed tofu, asparagus, red onions, and mushrooms on top and drizzle with the remaining lemon wedge.
Voila! You have a delicious zucchini noodle bowl. I decided to have some of Trader Joe’s roasted vegetables on the side. They’re so good, you don’t have to add anything! Just pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes.
