Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz whole grain cooked noodles
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut in half, seeded
  • 1/2 onion, cut into 1/2" wedges
  • 1-2 ears fresh corn shucked (or use frozen, roasted corn)
  • oil, salt and pepper for veggies
  • garnish with cherry tomatoes, lime wedges, pepitas, cilantro leaves

Vegan Cilantro Pesto

  • 1 bunch cilantro and thin stems
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped jalapeno(optional)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup pumplin seeds (raw)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional – only if you like smoky flavor
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the grill to medium high.Brush or spray veggies with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the veggies on the grill, lower heat to medium, cover, then make the cilantro pesto. Check the veggies every 5 minutes or so, turning.
  • Place the cilantro, garlic and jalapeño in food processor and pulse repeatedly until finely chopped. Add the remaining ingredients, pulse until combined but not too smooth. You should have a fairly loose (runny) pesto -perfect for tossing the salad.

  • Place on a serving platter or in a bowl, top with halved cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with more pepitas and cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.
