Zucchini Noodle "Pasta" Salad

This healthy zucchini noodle salad has all the flavors you love in a classic pasta salad but we've swapped in zoodles for wheat pasta, which makes the salad lighter, lower in carbs and gluten-free. Serve it with grilled chicken or fish for a light and healthy summer dinner.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 small shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, grated
16 ounces spiralized zucchini noodles (see tip)
3 cups halved cherry tomatoes
⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives
¾ cup shaved parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

Whisk oil, vinegar, oregano, mustard, crushed red pepper, shallot and garlic in a large bowl. Add zucchini noodles, tomatoes, olives and half the Parmesan; toss gently to coat. Divide evenly among 4 bowls; sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
