Creamy Avocado Zoodles Recipe: Quick Low-Carb Dinner

A fresh zucchini noodle recipe that takes under 20 minutes, these Creamy Avocado Zoodles pair tender zoodles with a creamy, bright, and slightly zesty sauce—perfect for a simple summer meal.

Creamy Avocado Zoodles

I bought a spiralizer last year and quickly fell in love. Zucchini is my go-to for spiralizing, though you can use many vegetables. Zucchini noodles—zoodles—are light, filling, and abundant in summer when zucchini is fresh and inexpensive.

This Creamy Avocado Zoodles recipe is quick and straightforward, ready in under 20 minutes and loaded with fresh flavors you’ll enjoy even if you’re not a health-food fanatic. The sauce is silky with a little heat and bright acidity; it’s so tasty you might want to spoon some straight from the bowl. It blends up in seconds in a food processor, though you can use any sturdy blender.

To prepare, spiralize zucchini, lightly season, and sauté briefly in olive oil—about 5 minutes until tender but not mushy. While the zoodles cook, blend the sauce ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed; a pinch or two of salt can make a big difference.

When the zoodles and sauce are ready, toss them together in a bowl or the skillet if it’s large enough. Serve warm or chilled—ideally outdoors in the sunshine.
