Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped

1 ripe avocado, diced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spiralized zucchini noodles, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Mix these ingredients gently to ensure an even distribution.

    Carefully fold in the diced avocado and crumbled feta cheese to the mixture, taking care not to mash them while combining.

      Sprinkle the chopped roasted almonds and parsley over the salad for an extra crunch and refreshing flavor.

        In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until well blended. This will serve as your bright and zesty dressing.

          Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated without breaking the avocado or feta.

            Serve the salad immediately for the best fresh taste, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to enhance and meld the flavors beautifully.
