Creamy Avocado & Courgette Salad: A Fresh and Nourishing Vegan Recipe

Looking for a quick, nutritious lunch that’s both satisfying and easy to prepare? This creamy avocado & courgette salad combines fresh courgette noodles with a rich avocado dressing, infused with zesty lime and aromatic herbs. Topped with flaked almonds and pumpkin seeds for added crunch, this vegan and gluten-free dish is perfect for a light yet fulfilling meal.​

Spiralising courgettes is a simple way to create light, nutritious vegetable noodles, often used as a low-carb alternative to pasta. You can use a spiraliser or julienne peeler to cut courgettes into thin, noodle-like strands. They can be eaten raw in salads or lightly cooked in stir-fries and pasta dishes. Courgette noodles, also called “zoodles,” are a great way to add more vegetables to your diet while keeping meals fresh and flavourful.
