Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 1 large zucchini or 2 small, spiral-cut (approx. 200-250g)
  • 2 tablespoons grape tomatoes sliced in half
  • ¼ ​ cup crumbled feta cheese

For the Zesty Garlic Dressing:

  • 1½ ​ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 0.75 fl oz
  • 1½ ​ tablespoons fresh lemon juice 0.75 fl oz
  • 1 small clove garlic finely minced
  • ¼ ​ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • A small pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Spiralize the Zucchini: Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles. Place these "zoodles" into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add Fresh Components: To the bowl with the zucchini, add the halved grape tomatoes and the crumbled feta cheese.
  • Prepare the Dressing: In a separate small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and finely minced garlic. Whisk or shake vigorously until the ingredients are well emulsified. Season with sea salt and black pepper to your liking.
  • Dress and Serve: Gently pour the zesty garlic dressing over the zucchini mixture. Toss lightly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. This salad is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the crispness of the zucchini.

A Note on Enjoyment & Dietary Considerations:

  • For the best texture, serve this salad promptly after dressing, as the lemon juice will gradually soften the zucchini.
  • This recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and contains no added sugars, making it a good option for those following a diabetic-friendly eating plan. Please consider individual dietary needs and adjust portion sizes accordingly.
