Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini

Avocado Sauce:

  • 1 large avocado
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • ½ jalapeno
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil optional
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • water as needed

Toppings (optional)

  • cherry tomatoes
  • almonds or sun flower seeds

Instructions

  • Firstly trim the ends of the zucchini and using Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer (my favorite as seen in the picture) or spiralizer machine, spiralize to make zucchini "noodles".
  • Combine all the avocado sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender and process/blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add additional water to the thin sauce to desired consistency.
  • Pour the creamy avocado sauce over the raw zucchini noodles and toss to coat (you may not need all of the sauce). Adjust the seasoning at this stage.
  • Additionally, Top it with grape tomatoes, sunflower seeds, or almonds and parmesan (skip if vegan) and serve immediately.

Notes

Variations

  • You can also add 2 tablespoons of greek yogurt while making sauce.
  • To make it more healthy, try adding vegetables such as steamed broccoli, edamame, and grape tomatoes to this dish.
  • You can use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.
