Directions
Step 1
Soak the raw cashews in warm water for 20-30 minutes, then drain and rinse well.

Step 4
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and set aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini noodles, thawed peas, and red bell pepper strips.
Step 6
Pour the raw Alfredo sauce over the zucchini mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 7
Divide the zucchini Alfredo onto serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Raw Alfredo Zucchini with Peas and Peppers!
