Lunch Salad: Spiralized Zucchini with Feta and Sun-dried Tomato Pesto

Zoodles anyone? Zoodles are an excellent, tasty, and heathy alternative to pasta. It's a fun way to increase the amount of vegetables you eat. And these veggie noodles are not limited to zucchini only. You can make them from carrots, red beets, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and so much more.

Ingredients

For the pesto

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp sunflower seeds or pine nuts
2 tbsp water
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt to taste
black pepper to taste

For the salad

2 zucchini, spiralized
1/2 cup sliced red onions
1 cup halved cherry tomato
1/2 cup sliced green olives (optional)
2 oz crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

1. In a small blender or food processor, combine all pesto ingredients. Process until a smooth paste.
2. Spiralize zucchini.
3. Add zucchini noodles to a plate, top with other salad ingredients. Add pesto and gently stir to coat.

FYI: you can cook the zucchini noodles in a pan with oil if you prefer them softer.

Enjoy!
