Instructions:
Prepare Zucchini:
Spiralize the zucchini and cut into small pieces. Place the zucchini noodles in a large mixing bowl.
Add Vegetables:
Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and pepperoncini rings to the bowl with the zucchini.
Add Olives and Vegan Feta:
Add the halved olives and cubed vegan feta cheese.
Dress the Salad:
Pour the vegan Creamy Balsamic Dressing over the top of the salad and toss well to combine.
Let It Marinate:
Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes. The longer it sits, the better the flavor!
Tips for Enhanced Flavor:
Add Fresh Herbs: Adding fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or mint can enhance the salad’s flavor.
Roast the Cherry Tomatoes: Roasting the cherry tomatoes slightly can add a deeper, richer flavor.
Use High-Quality Vegan Feta: The taste of the vegan feta can significantly impact the overall flavor, so opt for a high-quality brand.
Season Well: Ensure the dressing is well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and maybe a hint of garlic or onion powder to enhance the overall taste.
Enjoy your vibrant and tasty vegan zucchini noodle “pasta” salad!
