Zoodles with Avocado and Cilantro Sauce

From IG's @ahimsaplantkitchen comes this quick and easy recipe that transforms your zucchini.

“It’s also made in 15 minutes, so ideal for busy days too! If you don’t have a spiralizer, don’t worry. You can use a vegetable peeler as well.”

Ingredients (for 2):

  • 2 small-medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles (zoodles)

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 1 cup cilantro leaves

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

  • salt, to taste

  • water (about 2 tbsp to help blend, adjust as needed)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

  • hemp seeds (for topping)

  • cracked black pepper, to taste


Instructions:

  1. Use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to turn your zucchinis into noodles (zoodles).

  2. In a small blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, nutritional yeast, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Add a little water to get things moving and blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust as needed.

  3. In a large bowl, toss the zoodles with the creamy avocado cilantro dressing until well coated.

  4. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of cracked pepper, and a handful of hemp seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
