Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:

  • 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup black olives

  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini

  • 1/2 cup diced salami

  • 1/2 cup mini mozzarella balls

For the Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Spiralize zucchini and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let sit for 15 minutes, then gently squeeze out extra water with a towel.

  • In a large bowl, mix tomatoes, onion, olives, pepperoncini, salami, and mozzarella.

  • Add zoodles and toss gently to combine.

  • In a small jar or bowl, mix olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk well.

  • Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything.

  • Chill for 30 minutes if you want the flavors to blend more, or serve right away.

Notes

  • You can swap salami for bacon, chicken, or leave it out for vegetarian.

  • Mozzarella can be replaced with feta or parmesan.

  • Make it ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days, but toss dressing right before serving for best texture.
