Cooking Tips
- Spiralizing zucchini: Ensure that the zucchini is fresh and firm to get the best texture from the noodles. Soft zucchinis can make the noodles mushy.
- Tossing the salad: Gently toss the ingredients to avoid breaking the zoodle strands and to evenly distribute the dressing.
- Serving immediately: Serve this salad immediately after dressing to prevent the zoodles from releasing water and becoming soggy.
