🔪 How to Make Greek Zoodle Salad
To Make the Dressing
Add all of the dressing ingredients to a salad dressing shaker cup.
Shake until well combined and emulsified, then set aside while you make the salad.
To Make the Salad
Wash and dry your zucchini, then spiralize them using a spiralizer. Then cut the zucchini noodles into small pieces. This makes it much easier to eat.
Add the zucchini noodles to a large mixing bowl.
Add in the tomatoes, cucumber, orange bell pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, chopped mint and feta cheese.
Pour the dressing over the top.
Toss to combine and serve. I like to add more chopped mint and dried oregano over the top.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Fridge: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Freezer: Freezing this salad is not recommended because the zucchini noodles and other veggies will become mushy once thawed.

💡 Tips for Making Zucchini Noodle Salad
- Use firm zucchini: Choose fresh, firm zucchini for the best texture and crispness.
- Let the salad sit: Let the tossed salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Adjust the salt: Taste the salad before serving and adjust the salt if needed, especially since feta and olives are already salty.
- Serve chilled: If time allows, chill the salad for 20-30 minutes before serving for a refreshing bite.
- Add dressing slowly: Start with half the dressing, toss, and add more as needed to avoid soggy noodles.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions

- Grilled shrimp: Top with grilled shrimp for a fresh and protein-packed seafood option.

Can I Make This Salad Ahead of Time?
Yes, but store the dressing separately and toss just before serving to keep it fresh.
How Do I Keep the Zucchini Noodles From Getting Watery?
Pat them dry with a paper towel after spiralizing to remove excess moisture.

Sure, just make sure they are fresh and firm.
