Bruschetta Zoodles
We will be having this with dinner tonight with some baked chicken.
I used a spiralizer to make the noodles.
Ingredients:
4-small zucchini
2 tomatoes diced
2 small cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons of basil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Fresh ground salt and pepper to taste
Optional: diced mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup diced onion
* I was out of mozzarella so I diced two slices of Munster cheese. I was out of onion so I omitted it & it’s still delicious.
Spiralize the zucchini, and chop veggies and cheese.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir. Refrigerate to allow ingredients to marinate.
Delicious cold, or gently heat in a pan. Great served with cold or warm baked chicken (or protein of choice).
* Don’t overcook the Zoodles if you are heating. Zucchini gets soft fairly quickly, so monitor as you heat to ensure you are maintaining the desired texture/consistency.
