Veggie Pasta Salad with Zucchini Noodles

Writer's picture: Francesca NardelliFrancesca Nardelli

This dish was inspired by a recipe request! A pasta salad, although I decided to use zucchini noodles instead of pasta! Try it however you like it! :)


**A lot of my meals are considered "low carb" because I swap out breads, and pastas for veggies, but I am not a keto person, and my diet is not low carb!  I like to remind you of this from time to time because I get a lot of comments to not "fear carbs"! I eat oats, potatoes, and tons of other starchy carbs, and wouldn't ever want to promote an unhealthy relationship with carbs, I just prefer to eat like this!**


That being said, if you choose to create this recipe with zucchini noodles, it is much lighter than it would be with regular pasta thus making this a side dish, or light lunch!


If you're not using zucchini noodles, I would suggest a cup of bowtie pasta if you'd like to use pasta here!


Either way, this was absolutely delicious, and I hope you love it!



In each jar, add:

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 garlic clove pressed

salt

pepper

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

*STIR WELL*

Then add:

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes

1 cup zucchini noodles, or bowtie pasta

1 cup finely chopped spinach

1 tbsp fresh basil leaves

1 tbsp pine nuts


(Another great addition to this would be 1/2 cup of chickpeas for extra protein!)


Shake it up once you're ready to eat, and enjoy!
