ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH AVOCADO SAUCE

These zucchini noodles with avocado sauce are the perfect solution for a quick, simple, filling and healthy lunch or dinner.

The creamy avocado sauce adds a lot of flavor and healthy fats and it’s amazing on pretty much everything you can think of: tacos, grilled chicken, regular pasta, salmon, sandwiches, burgers, etc.
I like the crunchy texture of raw noodles but if you prefer them warm, just saute them for a couple of minutes.

To make the zucchini noodles, all you need is a spiralizer. You don’t have a spiralizer yet? You can easily make noodles with a julienne peeler or a mandoline. I highly recommend investing in a spiralizer because you’ll get so much use out of it. You can spiralize carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, squash, apples, …. I have this spiralizer and this one (these are not affiliate links). In my opinion, the first one is much better.
