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!

    • Hi there! It's Ali :) They are from Crate & Barrel, we got them as a wedding gift! So glad you liked the recipe!
  • This looks yummy - definitely going to try! I love the fact that so many of your recipes don't require much time cooking - just a quick sauté. I am American - but currently live in Singapore where it is extremely hot and humid year round. So hate to spend much time in front of the stove. Enjoy your time in SE Asia. I have been here a couple of years now - and I have fallen in love with the culture, food and people!
    • We're so happy you're enjoying our recipes! Thanks!
  • I tried this recipe last night. The only difference was I cooked the zucchini zoodles. It was delicious and I added it to my Pinterest favorites.
    • Thank you for sharing, Lisa! We're so happy you enjoyed it.
  • I am definitely making this for lunch tomorrow! Would you be able to tell me what brand is the salt/pepper grinders? Thank you!
    • They were a wedding gift and are unlabeled, sorry! You can find different varieties at Williams Sonoma and most kitchen retailers!
  • Simple & delicious, YUM. We had a serving leftover and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the avocado dressing didn't turn brown the next day. I used a Pinkerton avocado.
  • This recipe... WOW! This was my first inspiralizer recipe and it was a huge success! I added sauteed chicken, and my fiance added some sriracha sauce... knockout! Can't wait to try other recipes!
  • I have made this 3 times since you posted this recipe, and it has easily become my go to summer recipe! I have added rotisserie chicken a couple of times, and its great as well. Such a delicious recipe! Thank you!!
  • Hi, do you allow guest posting on inspiralized.com ? Let me know on my e-mail :)
  • It's always good to shake up your cooking routine to make cooking fun. I must say your new spiralizer has done that for me! I just received it and this was my first recipe that I tried. The only thing I did differently was I stir fried the zoodles for 3 min till aldenta. It was off the charts GREAT! My husband licked his plate when he was finished and I licked the skillet! Hehe! All I can say is this is the best way to eat your vegies!
