Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini squash
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 ripe Hass avocado
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste) or almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ bunch fresh cilantro
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • Pita chips or vegetable sticks (optional for serving)

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Cut zucchini in thirds lengthwise; place in large bowl and coat with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill zucchini 2–3 minutes on each side until grill-marked and tender. Remove from grill, let stand 5 minutes to cool. Meanwhile, halve avocado and scoop out pit and flesh.
    2. Cut zucchini into chunks and place in food processor bowl, pulse until coarsely chopped. Add remaining ingredients (including avocado flesh and remaining 3 tablespoons oil) to food processor bowl. Process until smooth and blended. Chill until ready to serve. Serve with pita chips or vegetable sticks, if desired.
