Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumbers, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lemon

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Using a spiralizer, create noodle-like strands from the two medium zucchinis. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can create thin slices using a vegetable peeler. Place the zucchini noodles in a large mixing bowl.

    Mix the Base Ingredients: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers, diced bell pepper, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and rinsed chickpeas to the bowl with the zucchini. Gently toss the ingredients together to combine.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

        Combine Dressing and Salad: Pour the dressing over the zucchini salad mixture and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

          Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese (if using) and fresh cilantro over the top of the salad. Give it one last gentle toss to mix everything together.

            Serve and Enjoy: Divide the salad into bowls and enjoy immediately, or let it chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
