I just love zucchini!  I use it in my smoothies, my salads, my stews, and dips.  I even substitute them for noodles when making “raw spaghetti”.  (Raw Vegan White Spaghetti and Raw Spaghetti).

Today, I incorporated them into my guacamole, and we loved it!  I love flavor and crunch it.  I served it with “Mary’s Gone Crackers” instead of tortilla chips because it is MUCH healthier.  I also made burritos stuffed with chipotle-flavored pinto beans, cooked quinoa, and this delicious guacamole.  So, dinner, once again, was a success!

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe avocados
• 1 medium sized zucchini (chopped)
• 1 large tomato (chopped)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast (optional)
• juice of one lime
• 3 to 4 cloves of garlic
• a handful of cilantro (note: I could not find organic cilantro today, so I just added 3 tablespoons of organic cilantro paste)
• Sea salt (add little by little and adjust to your liking)
• 1 jalapeno (optional)

Directions:

1. Place avocado, lime juice, nutritional yeast (optional), garlic, jalapeno (optional), and cilantro in the food processor.
2. Blend for a few seconds and then start adding your sea salt.

3. After a minute of blending, mix in your tomato and zucchini.
4. Serve and enjoy!
