31/07/2015 By Caralee 4 Comments

Zucchini Noodle w Avo BE LS

This salad is perfect as a side dish or would also be really nice as a main topped with BBQ chicken strips, poached salmon or grilled prawns. I absolutely love this avocado whip because it is so lush, creamy and full of gorgeous herby flavours.

Zucchini Noodle with Avocado Whip
I got these gorgeous zucchini from the farmers markets. They had three varieties, one with pale green skin, one with a bright yellow skin and the standard dark green variety. I have planted a few zucchini seedlings in my garden, so I am pretty excited to see if i can produce some of my own.

Below the recipe I have made a few suggestions on how to make this recipe even better. For more about how to make zucchini noodles you can click here.

    This looks and sounds gorgeous. …aside from the zucchini, what could I use instead?
