Ingredients

For the dressing:

¼ Cup Olive Oil

2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice

1 Tsp Dried Oregano

½ Tsp Dried Parsley

½ Tsp Garlic Powder

1 Tsp Dijon Mustard

Salt and Pepper to Taste

For the salad:

2 Medium Zucchini

½ Sm Red Onion Thinly Sliced

1 14-Oz Can Artichoke Hearts (Drained)

½ Cup Pitted Kalamata Olives

1 15-Oz Can Chickpeas (Drained & Rinsed)

½ Cup Feta Cheese 

2 Cups Spinach

1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes (Halved)

Directions

1. Prepare Your Zucchini

We used a spiralizer to make long, skinny noodles, but if you don’t have one, a chef knife, mandolin, or potato peeler works just as well. Either way you slice it, place your freshly cut “noodles” on a paper towel after, so that any excess water is soaked up.

2. Make the Dressing 

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, and mustard. Then, add salt and pepper to taste.

3. Build the Salad

In a large bowl, add the zoodles, sliced onion, artichoke hearts, olives, chickpeas, feta (if using), spinach, and tomatoes.

4. Toss

Drizzle your dressing over the salad and voi la! You have the most delicious Mediterranean salad! Serve immediately or refrigerate overnight for even more flavor!

Notes

1. Prep Ahead 

Make the dressing a day ahead to save time and allow the flavors to meld together.

2. Add Protein

For a heartier salad, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

3. Extra Crunch

Top the salad with toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds for an added crunch.
