We’re back with a new episode of #EverydayInspiralized, my video cooking series on my YouTube channel.
We’re making a brand new recipe (and one that I know many of you have been waiting for after teasers on Instagram) – Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Avocado Lime Cilantro Dressing, Corn and Tomatoes!
I make this dressing A LOT. I’m always incorporating avocados somehow into my diet, and this is probably my favorite way to do it. You get to eat a big bowl of creamy pasta, without the processed dairy and sugar.
Unfortunately, since avocados oxidize and turn brown easily, it doesn’t save well in the refrigerator (the avocado sauce will brown within 30 minutes), so keep that in mind as you’re meal planning. But trust me, you won’t have any leftovers – it’s so good you’ll want to devour the whole bowl!
The corn are slightly spicy and the tomatoes are fresh and chilled, it’s just an amazing combination – this is going to become one of your go-to summer meals, I have a feeling!
