Ingredients

3 zucchinis
1/2 red onion thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1/4 cup kalamata olives chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil chopped
juice from 1 lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons hemp seeds

Instructions

Cut zucchini into “pasta” using a mandoline, spiralizer, or julienne peeler
I used a mandoline but my next purchase will be a julienne peeler…easier to clean and less likely to slice off a finger!
Add zucchini “pasta” to a large bowl with the olives, basil, onion and tomatoes
Mix together olive oil and lemon juice, pour on top of vegetables.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
You could eat it immediately or place it in the refrigerator for an hour to let the flavors combine
Top with hemp seeds and enjoy 🙂
