This Caprese Zoodle Salad is a refreshing twist on the classic Caprese salad. Made with spiralized zucchini, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil, it’s tossed in a light balsamic dressing for a simple, low-carb side or lunch. It’s fresh, healthy, and full of summery flavor!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 medium zucchini, spiralized

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine), halved

  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped or torn

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the dressing:

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchini into noodles (zoodles), or use pre-spiralized ones. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano (if using), salt, and pepper.

  3. In a large bowl, combine zoodles, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.

  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  5. Serve immediately, or chill for 15–30 minutes for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For best texture, serve soon after assembling — zoodles can release water over time.

  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein-packed main dish.

  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving for a sweeter finish.
