Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized (or use a vegetable peeler for ribbons)

1 large cucumber, diced

1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Noodles: If using zucchinis, spiralize them into noodles. Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons. Place the noodles in a colander, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release excess moisture.

    Make the Creamy Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until it's smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the drained zucchini noodles, diced cucumber, and creamy avocado sauce. Toss until the noodles are well coated.

        Add Fresh Elements: Fold in the chopped basil and halved cherry tomatoes, mixing gently so they stay intact.

          Serve: Divide the creamy cucumber avocado noodle bowl among serving plates. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and red pepper flakes if desired. Garnish with additional basil leaves.

            Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavors, let the bowl sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving so all the flavors meld.

              Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing meal or side dish!
