Start cooking

Serves: 6

|
Sauce 2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, seeded, peeled and halved 4 bulbs of garlic, preferably roasted 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 2 limes, juiced (about ¼ Cup) 2 jalapenos, medium, sliced (add more for extra heat/spice) 1/8 tsp. salt, or to taste 1/8 tsp. pepper, or to taste 2 Tbsp. water, to thin sauce to taste Zoodles 5 zucchini, medium Tomatoes 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced (use orange or yellow for color)

Sauce

  1. Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a food processor.
  2. Add to that the roasted garlic, olive oil, lime juice, and jalapenos.
  3. Process and taste.
  4. Add water, salt, and pepper to taste and consistency preference.

Zoodles

  1. Cut the ends off the zucchini and run them through your spiralizer.
  2. Heat a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat and drizzle 1 to 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in the pan.
  3. Add the zoodles and sauté lightly. I cook mine about 8 – 10 minutes, you want them cooked, but not mushy.
  4. Add the sauce to the pan, and toss to coat.

  2. Add halved tomatoes and sauté until the skin is blackened and blistered.
