Swapping pasta for zucchini “noodles” makes this Greek-inspired salad low-carb, keto, and paleo friendly. Make it a meal by adding some grilled chicken or shrimp.

Ingredients:

For the salad

  • 2 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 1 cup cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • ½ cup feta cheese (omit for paleo)

For the dressing

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Toss the zucchini noodles (store-bought or home spiralized) with the remaining vegetables in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and herbs in a small bowl until well-combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well.
  4. Sprinkle with the cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
