No lettuce in this salad! Just zucchini, crispy bacon, feta, and shiny red cherry tomatoes. Topped with some balsamic vinegar, this inviting dish is a great side salad for any meal.

Zucchini ribbons are incredibly easy to make. All you need is a cheese slicer, or a vegetable peeler, and some zucchini. Slice it lengthwise and the zucchini will form long noodles. The shape isn’t necessary for creating this dish. You could just slice the zucchini into thin circles or cut into chunks too.

This salad will refrigerate well and will keep for an upwards of 3 to 4 days if it’s covered. This salad is perfect to take to work too.
