As some of you know, I've been changing how I eat, because it turns out that cutting out starches makes a HUGE difference to my pain levels. So, I've been browsing a lot of Paleo/vegan/raw food blogs in search of recipes. If you had told me a month ago that I'd be eating zucchini noodles^*, I'd've raised my eyebrows at you.

Anyway, today's lunch recipe turned out so good that I feel compelled to share it with you! Behind the cut, fig avocado "pasta" salad.

• 1 zucchini, grated or spiralized or however you want to make "noodles" from it.


• 1/2 avocado


• 4 figs


• 1/2 lime


• Chopped pistachios or pecans


• Olive oil, salt

Dice the avocado and the figs. Toss in a bowl with 1 - 1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil and the lime juice. Add salt to your own preferences, mix together, and sprinkle with the chopped nuts.

Zoodles is an awesome name.

It sounds like a character on a show your kid would watch! Not food! =D

I have been won over to the ways of zucchini noodles myself.

Here's a recipe I came up with, and it's really easy to make. I eat this whenever I get the salt cravings late at night.

Zucchini soba - not vegetarian, contains fish.

1. Take a small-med zucchini, make it into noodles.
2. Put into a bowl.
3. Take 1/4 cup or so of soba soup broth (can be found at Uwajimaya), and pour into the zucchini.
4. Nuke for a minute or so, covered, to cook the zucchini slightly.
5. Stir.
6. Eat.

That is a terrific recipe! For more, here's a book recommendation for you - The Good Gut: Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-term Health by Justin and Erica Sonnenburg. These recipes are specifically microbiome-friendly, and the science is accessible.

It's OK. You don't have to be Sandra Boynton.
