Zucchini noodles aka "zoodles" are all the rage these days - and for good reason!! A whole cup of "zoodles" is only around 30 calories compared to a cup of regular pasta which is more than 200 calories!
Pretty amazing if you ask me - what will they think of next?!Anyway, for the love of zoodles, lets get back to the recipe. This Simple Zucchini Noodle Salad is seriously so delicious.
It's also SO easy to make and will be ready in less than 15 minutes (10 once you get the hang of spiralizing!).
The salad is vegan, gluten-free, and packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It's the perfect salad for summer!
Here's how amazing this salad is: after making and photographing it, I was so excited to share it with my fiancé once he got home from work.
Unfortunately every time I opened the fridge this gorgeous salad was STARING at me. For real you guys. STARING. And pretty much begging me to eat it.
So I did... every last bite. The fiancé got NOTHING. Poor thing. The salad was soooo good though that it will be gracing our fridge/lunches/dinners regularly, so don't worry, he will get to have it soon!
