This zucchini zoodle salad has such a light and bright flavor and can be made in less than 30 minutes, so it’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner salad. 

It’s loaded with zucchini, tomatoes, black beans, avocado, red onion, corn and cilantro and tossed in a simple but flavorful dressing.

I wish I could take credit for concocting this delicious zoodle salad recipe myself but it comes from a cookbook I was sent to review: the new Instant Loss: Eat Real, Lose Weight cookbook by Brittany Williams.

She wrote the cookbook as part of her weight loss journey, and she shares tips, anecdotes and over 100 recipes that helped her lose 125 pounds in one year through diet alone.

The quick and easy recipes (most can be made in under 30 minutes) are all made with real foods — no processed ingredients, gluten or refined sugars and they use either an instant pot, air fryer or other common household gadgets. 

In Brittany’s cookbook, the zoodles salad is called ‘Summertime Zucchini Pasta’ but I just can’t connect that title to a zucchini salad (which is what it is) so I’m just calling it as I see it. The recipe is phenomenal; I just wish she’d called it a salad… so I’ll do it for her. 😉

Making zoodles is the hardest part of this recipe and it’s actually not hard at all; it’s FUN!

All you need is a spiralizer to do the work for you. The dream spiralizer is the KitchenAid spiralizer attachment that fits right on your mixer and the mixer does the turning. 

It’s a great tool (I’ve used my sister’s) but it’s pricey, so I bought this one at Amazon.

I turn the handle myself, but it works like a charm and is easy to clean, so if you’re looking for a spiralizer to do the job without spending beaucoup bucks, I recommend it.

The zucchini salad is the first recipe I’ve made from the cookbook, but I can’t wait to try some of her other recipes like Broccoli “Cheese” Soup, Cauliflower “Potato” Salad and Double Chocolate Mocha Brownies. 

And I also know I’ll be making this zoodles salad again and again. My family loved it!

    This salad looks delicious. Zucchini is a vegetable I actually crave, there must be a nutrient in it that I’m always lacking.

    Now, this sounds like an interesting salad – I have to admit I never really think outside the box when it comes to salads and always get bored with them – I need to try more like this!
