Instructions

1. Step 1: Spiralize 2 medium zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer, then toss with 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl.
2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, add the zucchini noodles, and cook for 2 minutes until tender but still crisp, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
3. Step 3: While noodles cook, finely chop 3 tbsp fresh cilantro and slice 1/4 medium avocado into thin half-moons.
4. Step 4: Squeeze the juice of 1 medium lime over the cooked zucchini noodles, then add the cilantro and avocado, tossing gently until the avocado is evenly distributed and the lime juice coats all strands.
