      Spiralized Mediterranean Cucumber Salad

      6 servings
      Prep time: 20 minutes
      Total time: 20 minutes

      Description

      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.

      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.
