Zucchini pasta salad


Ohh the deliciousness of pasta, I could eat it all day, every day.  I'm surprised I have zero Italian in me...   Anyways, pasta salad is one of my all time favorite meals!  Unfortunately, (like everything that tasts amazing) it's not all that good for you *sigh*... So, in an effort to cut back on carbs we've started replacing all our regular noodles with homemade veggie noodles!  And since they are the shape of noodles, I think it tricks my mind into thinking they are just as delicious as regular noodles.  But really, they are pretty dang good.  So, here is a recipe for simple pasta salad using zucchini as the noodles.  I highly recommend getting a spiralizer, the one I have I found at our local grocery store for about $14.00 and it works great!  

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
- half a zucchini 
- 1Tbs black olives
- 1Tbs green olives 
- 1Tbs sliced or cubed pepperonis 
- 2Tbs mozzarella cheese (cubed or shredded)
- Italian dressing to taste 


Step 1: buy yourself a spiralizer  


Step two, spiralize your zucchini (or any other veggie you want to use!) 


Step three: slice up olives, cheese & pepperoni 


Step four: place all ingredients in a bowl and pour desired amount of Italian dressing over everything.  Stir & enjoy!
