Author: 
Recipe type: vegetarian
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 1 large zucchini
  • cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • couple handfuls of rocket (arugula)
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and stone removed
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • milk or water (to be used as a thinning agent)
  • 1 garlic, minced
  • handful of fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 6 to 8 kalamata olives, pitted and quartered
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. To make the zucchini noodles, use a mandoline with a julienne attachment and slice into thick noodles, or if you don’t have a mandoline, cut zucchini into wide strips and julienne into thin strips. Toss into a mixing bowl and add tomatoes, rocket and olives.
  2. To make the avocado dressing, place chunks of avocado in a dish with yogurt, garlic, parsley, cumin and lime juice. Use a hand blender and blend until smooth.
  3. The dressing will be thick-ish at this point so add a bit of water and olive oil to desired consistency. Add a couple of spoonfuls to the salad and toss. Add more dressing if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
