Ingredients

  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ avocado, pitted and peeled
  • 2 ½ cups fresh mango chunks
  • 6 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium tamari soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 3 large zucchini, ends trimmed
  • 1 large carrot, ends trimmed and peeled
  • ¼ cup raw, unsalted cashews

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine broth, avocado, mango, 4 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, tamari and Sriracha. Blend on high until creamy and smooth.
  2. Using a spiral slicer, place zucchini on slicer and turn crank to create long strands that resemble spaghetti noodles. Repeat with carrot.
  3. Place zucchini and carrot strands in a large bowl, and toss with mango mixture to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with cashews and remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro.

Tips & Notes

Don’t have a spiral slicer? Use a julienne peeler or vegetable peeler to make ribbons, then stack and slice by hand.
