Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), diced

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles. After spiralizing, place the noodles in a colander, sprinkle with a little salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess water. Pat them dry with a paper towel before using.

    Mix the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the spiralized zucchini, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, and olives. Toss together gently to mix the ingredients evenly.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.

        Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure all veggies are coated in the flavorful dressing.

          Add Feta and Parsley: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley, being careful not to break the feta too much.

            Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. This salad can be served immediately, but it's even better if allowed to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to meld the flavors.

              Enjoy: Garnish with additional parsley or feta on top before serving if desired. Enjoy this refreshing, crunchy dish as a healthy lunch or a vibrant side at your next gathering!
