I used cilantro but parsley or basil or a combo or both also works very well!

  1. Slice the ends of your zucchini off. Use a spiralizer to make your zucchini noodles. Heat a large pan to high heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to pan then add crushed garlic. Cook garlic for just a few seconds or until it turns golden. Add the zuchhini noodles, toss to combine with the garlic and cook for just a few seconds then remove pan from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. While the zucchini pasta is cooling, Add avocado, herbs (cilantro, parsley, or basil), lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until mixture is creamy, (optional, add 2-3 tablespoons water or until mixture reaches a pourable consistency).
  3. Pour sauce on zucchini noodles. Toss and serve. Garnish with parmesan or additional chopped cilantro. Enjoy warm or at room temp!
