Preparation

Dressing
  1. Combine avocado, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth; add water as needed to reach desired consistency.
Assembly
  1. In a large bowl, combine the spiralized zucchini, sliced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

Notes

Serve this salad immediately to enjoy optimal freshness and texture. You can prepare the dressing a few hours ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or simply thinly slice the zucchini.
