Mediterranean Zucchini Pasta Salad

Mediterranean Zucchini Pasta Salad

This refreshing and lightened up Mediterranean Zucchini Pasta Salad is prepared with zucchini noodles in lieu of traditional pasta, and tossed with briny feta, chickpeas, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, spinach, and olives. This salad is best after sitting for a bit (it can be prepared several hours in advance or overnight) when the zucchini has softened a bit and had a chance to absorb the flavors of the dressing. Serve as a meal or alongside a more traditional protein (grilled shrimp, chicken, or flank steak would be great!).
