This zucchini “pasta” with lemon & avocado dressing is one of my favorite meals. It’s quick and easy to make, refreshing and super healthy. I love the lemon avacado & basil dressing so much I use as dressings on salads.

Instructions
For the Zucchini Pasta
Use a spiralizer or Veggetti (can order off Amazon for only around $11.00 — see link in blog post) to make pasta out of the zucchini. Combine the zucchini pasta with the dressing (recipe below). Add the cherry tomatoes, mixed greens and jalapeño. Enjoy! Depending on how saucy you want the pasta, add the dressing slowly and you might end up with some extra dressing to use on other salads.
For the Dressing
Combine all ingredients into a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
