Ingredients

For the Salad:

2 medium zucchini organic, spiralized
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved, preferably heirloom
1 cup fresh mozzarella balls also known as bocconcini
¼ cup fresh basil leaves torn by hand

For the Dressing:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil high quality
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup for a vegan option
½ teaspoon sea salt to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer and place the noodles in a large mixing bowl.
Add halved cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and torn basil leaves to the bowl with the zucchini noodles.
In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the zucchini noodles are fully coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.

Notes

For an added crunch, consider topping with toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
Feel free to substitute mozzarella with a plant-based cheese alternative for a dairy-free option.
