Preparation

Step 1

Lemon Spinach Pesto Directions:

Pulse the lemon zest, spinach, parsley, nutritional yeast, garlic, and salt in food processor until the spinach leaves are finely chopped. Slowly stream in olive oil and continue blending until pesto is smooth.

Refrigerate or freeze in a Mason jar.

Tuna with Lemon Spinach Pesto Salad Directions:

In a medium skillet, sauté spiralized vegetables for just a few minutes over medium heat with your fat of choice {I used coconut oil}. Remove to a medium bowl.

Toss sautéed "noodles" with Lemon Spinach Parsley Pesto, coating thoroughly and plate.

Lightly break up and divvy the Albacore. Season to taste with sea salt.
