It is then paired with an assortment of colorful vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, and cucumbers, adding a bright and crisp contrast to the zucchini.

This combination of flavors creates a refreshing and tangy dressing that complements the vegetables perfectly. Topped with a sprinkle of feta cheese and a handful of Kalamata olives, this Mediterranean Zucchini Salad is a delightful and satisfying dish that is sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire.
