Avocados are like the ultimate health food. Low in carbs, high in healthy fat and fiber, and they taste simply divine. Creamy smooth flesh that pairs with everything from vegetables to fish to chocolate. Yes, chocolate! This time, I went for a savory flavor combination. Think of this as smooth guacamole over fresh zucchini noodles (Zoodles). It makes a great summer side dish.

Just tried this but with Mexican avacodos which tend to be smaller i think. I do not think it came out as good as yours because of it. Probably not enough ripe so keep an eye out for that.
