Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Mix pepitas with melted coconut oil, chipotle chili powder, and sea salt. Spread on a baking sheet and toast for 7-9 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a food processor, blend avocado, pickled jalapeño, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and sea salt. Gradually add water until smooth and creamy.
  3. Using a vegetable peeler, slice zucchini into long ribbons, avoiding the core. Place in a bowl and set aside.
  4. In a large serving bowl, layer half of the zucchini ribbons, sweet corn, and cherry tomatoes. Repeat the layers with remaining ingredients.
  5. Just before serving, pour the avocado dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Garnish with cilantro or green onion if desired.
