💡 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.
