Ingredients

2 medium zucchini spiralized, about 1 pound or 450 grams
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved, about 5 ounces or 150 grams
1 medium cucumber diced, about 8 ounces or 225 grams
½ red onion thinly sliced, about 2 ounces or 56 grams
½ cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved, about 2.5 ounces or 70 grams
¾ cup feta cheese crumbled, about 4 ounces or 113 grams
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil about 2 fluid ounces or 60 milliliters
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar about 1 fluid ounce or 30 milliliters
1 lemon juiced, about 2 tablespoons or 30 milliliters
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Start by preparing your zucchini noodles using a spiralizer. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons of zucchini.
In a large bowl, combine the spiralized zucchini, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the vegetables.
Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad and give it a final gentle mix.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Adjust the amount of red onion and Kalamata olives to suit your taste preferences. For an extra protein boost, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp to the salad. If you're not on a strict keto diet, you can add a handful of chickpeas for a more traditional Greek salad experience.
