Ingredients
  

2 large zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles

1 ripe avocado

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup corn (can be fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zoodles: Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create zoodles from the zucchinis. Place the zoodles in a colander and sprinkle them lightly with salt to help draw out excess moisture. Allow them to sit while you make the creamy dressing.

    Create the Creamy Dressing: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper (if you like heat). Use a fork or an immersion blender to mash and blend the mixture until it reaches a creamy, smooth consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and set aside.

      Sauté the Zoodles: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the zoodles to the skillet and sauté them for about 2-3 minutes, just until they become slightly tender but still firm (avoid overcooking). Once cooked, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

        Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the sautéed zoodles with the halved cherry tomatoes, corn, and finely chopped red onion. Drizzle the creamy avocado dressing over the top and carefully toss everything together until all the ingredients are well coated.

          Serve: Spoon the zoodle mixture into individual serving bowls. Top with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
