Description
Summer Zoodle Salad is the best healthy recipe using raw spiralized zucchini, homemade low carb dressing, cheese, Italian meats, and veggies. Low carb pasta salad has never tasted so good!
Ingredients
Salad:
- 10 cups spiralized zucchini noodles
- 4 oz cubed provolone cheese
- 3 oz sliced pepperoni
- 3 oz sliced salami
- 1 cup sliced black olives
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped artichoke hearts
Dressing:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Place the spiralizer on the counter and turn the clamp so the spiralizer clamps to the counter and doesn’t move. Choose the spaghetti blade and insert it.
- Rinse the zucchini and dry it. Cut the 2 ends off the zucchini and place the zucchini in the spiralizer and start turning the handle. Keep spinning the handle until you reach the end of the zucchini. Place the zoodles in a large bowl.
- Chop the meats, provolone cheese, and all the veggies into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the meats, cheese, and veggies to the bowl of zucchini noodles.
- In a small bowl combine the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and Italian seasoning. Use a small whisk or spoon and mix together.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss. Serve immediately.
Notes
4.3 NET CARBS PER SERVING
I highly suggest investing in a spiralizer. It makes your life much easier.
The toppings can be altered depending on your tastebuds and what you like and don’t like.
Other toppings can be: mushrooms, roasted red peppers, cucumbers, nuts, jalapenos, roasted garlic cloves, grilled chicken, marinated steak, mozzarella, feta, goat cheese, and the list goes on and on.
Zucchini noodles can be replaced with yellow squash noodles, cucumber noodles, or even beet noodles.
Feel free to leave the dressing out if you don’t like vinegar, or just drizzle olive oil and lemon juice instead.
This keto zoodle salad can be prepared ahead of time, just wait to dress it until ready to eat.
Store your leftover zucchini noodles salad in an airtight container in the fridge, but it will get soggy after it sits for too long.
I do not recommend freezing this low carb zoodle pasta salad. It can be prepared in just 5 to 10 minutes so there’s no need to freeze ahead of time.
