Spiralized Mediterranean Cucumber Salad

Save time and spiralize crisp cucumber instead of chopping it for this easy, healthy vegetable side. Want to make it a meal? Just add grilled chicken, shrimp or canned chickpeas.

Prep/Cook Time: 20 Minutes, Servings: 6

Ingredients

• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 large cucumber
• 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
• ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
• ½ cup cubed feta cheese
• ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives

Directions

1. Whisk oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
2. Using a spiral vegetable slicer with the chipper blade attachment (for thick noodles), cut cucumber lengthwise into "noodles." Cut the noodles into 2-inch lengths.
3. Add the cucumber noodles, tomatoes, onion, cheese and olives to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Serve topped with more oregano, if desired.
