Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup edamame (shelled)

1/4 cup shredded carrots

2 green onions, sliced

1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Zoodles: Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into noodles (zoodles). If you don’t have a spiralizer, a vegetable peeler can create thin ribbons.

Sauté the Zoodles: In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zoodles and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning based on your taste preferences.

Assemble the Bowl: In a large serving bowl, create a base with the sautéed zoodles. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, sliced avocado, edamame, shredded carrots, and green onions.

Drizzle and Garnish: Pour the dressing over the assembled ingredients and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Add fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor if desired.

Serve and Enjoy: Toss everything gently to combine the flavors and serve immediately while fresh.
