These Marinated Cucumbers are so versatile, and a great place to start when building a bowl. I love them topped with raw vegetables soaked in fresh lime juice or as a side to this Super Simple Watermelon Poke Bowl.

*Note that this can also be done with zucchini for stellar results.

Zucchini Noodles with Avocado and Mint Sauce

Zucchini Noodles with Avocado and Mint Sauce

The toasted pistachios in this Zucchini Noodles with Avocado and Mint Sauce add a nice crunchiness to the zucchini, and the avocado makes it so creamy, it’s almost a dream. Just make sure to prepare the avocado sauce close to serving time, to avoid it turning brown. You can, however, prepare your zucchinis ahead of time, and keep them refrigerated.
