Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized or thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup corn (fresh, grilled, or canned)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: sesame seeds, nuts, or sunflower seeds

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Begin by spiralizing the zucchinis or slicing them thinly into ribbons. If you'd like a less watery texture, sprinkle them with a little salt and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel.

    Combine the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the spiralized zucchini, cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, sliced red onion, diced avocado, and corn.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

        Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Gently toss to combine everything evenly, ensuring the dressing coats all the ingredients.

          Add Fresh Herbs and Cheese: Fold in the chopped parsley and crumble the feta cheese over the top, if using.

            Serve and Garnish: Transfer your Zucchini Salad Bowl to serving plates. Garnish with optional toppings like sesame seeds or nuts for an extra crunch.

              Enjoy: This salad can be served immediately or chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
