Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium-large zuchinni
  • 16 oz package of grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced thinly
  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 2 jars of kalamata olives (or a mixture of pitted olives)

For the Dressing:

  • 1/2 C olive oil
  • 1/4 C apple cider vinegar
  • 2 TBSP lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 23 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp raw honey (optional)
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt (more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zuchinni to make it into “pasta.”
  2. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, thinly slice the red onion.
  3. Chop the cucumber and dice it into small chunks.
  4. Combine all vegetables and olives into a large bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, add all the ingredients for the dressing and combine well.
  6. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and stir.
  7. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferrably overnight to let the flavors meld. Stir every few hours (if you remember) to help blend the ingredients for thorough marination.
