Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 4 medium sized zucchini spiralized with the skin on
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt*
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill coarsely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet in medium heat. Add in the garlic clove and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, 30 seconds or so.
  2. Add in the zucchini “noodles” and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly wilted, 4-5 minutes. Make sure to turn it a few times with tongs (or two forks) to ensure even cooking.
  3. Divide the zucchini noodles amongst two plates. Sprinkle with feta cheese and dill. Taste for seasoning, and add in if necessary.
  4. Serve immediately

Notes

  • When it comes to seasoning, I would recommend to check the saltiness of your feta before adding more salt into the dish.
  • This dish can be served warm and cold. It makes a great cold salad.
  • Alternatively, you can top it off with a fried or poached egg if you want to add some animal protein to your dish.
