Zoodles

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

“This is a recipe adapted from a friend. She has a beach house in the Outer Banks and loves to prepare this as a quick, healthy, no-cook meal for her family. We like the versatility as you can add or subtract veggies using your own family's preferences. You could even use grilled shrimp, fish, or chicken to add protein.” - Wendy Cannon, a cooking instructor at the Dr. Yum Project Kitchen

Method

Wash your zucchinis well. With a julienne cutter or spiralizer, slice the zucchinis length-wise to create your “zoodles.” You can also use a knife to cut noodle-width strips. Place in a bowl and set aside. Add prepared veggies to the bowl with your zoodles. In a blender, combine avocados, basil, parsley, garlic, lime juice, water, and salt. Blend on high until thoroughly smooth. Combine your noodles and veggies with your sauce and toss. Garnish with your choice of optional toppings.
