Zoodles, or zucchini noodles, are a fantastic low-carb and gluten-free alternative to traditional pasta. This refreshing salad combines the lightness of zoodles with the juicy sweetness of ripe tomatoes, offering a beautiful presentation with its vibrant colors and unique textures.

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
• 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup of black olives, sliced
• 1/4 cup of red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Zoodles: Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into zoodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips.
2. Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the zoodles, cherry tomatoes, black olives, red onion, and basil leaves.
3. Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
4. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
