If you love pasta but are avoiding it due to the carbohydrate content, then these noodles should certainly become a staple in your meals! The low carb “noodles” are made from zucchini using a handy dandy spiralizer tool!

The options for meal creations are endless. One of my favorites that I’m bringing you today is my Low-Carb Italian “Pasta” Salad. Be creative and have fun preparing your own versions! Enjoy!

*NOTE: You will need a Spiralizer for this recipe. If you don’t have one yet, well it’s about time you get one!

 

 

INGREDIENTS

Pasta
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1/3 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• 4 oz. feta cheese, cubed

Dressing
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp of the following: dried oregano, parsley, basil (or you can use 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

 

PREPARATION

• Spiralize your zucchinis to create your noodles (you will love it!)

• Place your zucchini noodles in a large bowl and add the tomatoes and feta cheese.

• Put ALL dressing ingredients into the bowl with the salad ingredients and gently toss until thoroughly combined.

• Put in the fridge for a couple of hours (at least) in order to let all the flavor come together and allow the zucchini to soften.

• Eat as a light meal or serve alongside your favorite protein, such as grilled chicken, fish, or lean meat. Enjoy!
