Creamy Avocado Sauce with Zucchini Noodles

This may be the simplest of all sauces as it requires no cooking or dicing, but is full of vibrant flavor and good for you nutrients. It's an all around winner with its few ingredients and tasty palette. I paired mine with zucchini noodles, but you can of course use any noodles you would like, or even combining wheat & vegetable noodles. The avocado offers the creaminess of the sauce, but also simultaneously gives it a nice thickness to sauce. I simple loved it! You can of course add any additional spices or herbs to the mix, even some spinach would be a nice touch & serve alongside some chicken for a complete meal.
