Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Cream Sauce
Zucchini noodles are all the rage lately and they couldn’t be an easier base for so many easy healthy recipes! Zucchinis also contain significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and minerals, like potassium and manganese, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.

The avocado cream sauce is kind of a mix between a pesto and guacamole with these simple ingredients:
· 1 avocado
· 8 fresh basil leaves
· ½ cucumber
· 1 garlic clove
· 2 tablespoons almond or coconut milk
· salt and pepper
Throw everything into a food processor or blender until smooth and that’s it!
It’s refreshing and creamy and you can really use this sauce as a base for so many things. It’d be great on grilled chicken or fish.
I tossed the sauce with the zucchini noodles, added some cherry tomatoes and ate this as a light meal. If you wanted to add some protein, any grilled meat or some shrimp would make this a well-rounded meal.
