What are Zoodles or Zucchini Noodles?

Zoodles are made of zucchini. By attaching a zucchini on a spiralizer, the zucchini becomes spiralized noodles, which are healthy alternatives to carb-based noodles. The taste is light, refreshing and utterly delicious.

This zucchini noodle salad recipe is basically zoodles in a tangy and delicious homemade dressing, topped with grilled shrimp. This is a perfect summer dish as zucchini is in season now, and it’s easy to fire up your grill and make grilled shrimp.

The dressing is made of only 3 key ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice and honey. It doesn’t get any easier than this. I love this zoodle salad for days when I want something light on my meals, as a lunch or a light dinner.

Try this recipe today. It’s easy to make, with very short active time. Once you try zoodles, you might not go back to regular wheat-based noodles!
