If you haven’t tried zucchini noodles, take note. In the past six months, I’ve changed my diet quite drastically. Especially living in Costa Rica for 3 months and now in Portland. I’ve been eating more raw (about 90% raw) and no more lactose (I’ve recently learned that I have a sensitivity to dairy).
If there is one thing that I love it’s zucchini, and making this tasty vegetable into noodles. It is a great alternative to grain pasta, and a great paleo substitute. Avocados are great for making sauces because they are naturally thick and creamy You can add a little heat to this dish by sprinkling in some crushed red pepper, but I prefer it nice and simple. You’ll love that it is full of flavor, simple and under 10-minutes to make, and most importantly, super healthy and nutritious.
This dish is also raw. So, no cooking involved!
What You’ll Need 2 zucchini 1/2 onion 1 vine tomato, chopped 1/2 avocado Juice from 1-2 lemons Salt, to taste Black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast (I used Minimalist Baker’s Parmasean Cheese Recipe) 1 cup spinach
Tools You’ll Need: Blender, Vegetable Spiralizer or Julienne Peeler.

Next, place all of the sauce ingredients except the spinach in a food processor and blend until smooth. Save a few tomoato pieces to garnish.(Start with the juice of one lemon. If it’s too thick, add the second or a little water). Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired Mix the sauce in with the noodles, and add the spinach leaves, garnish, and serve.
