Instructions

    1.
    Slice the ends off the zucchini, peel the outer flesh, and discard. Peel the zucchini into wide ribbons. Add to a large mixing bowl. You may use store-bought zucchini noodles if preferred.
    2.
    Finely dice the cucumber, thinly slice the onion, halve the olives, and roughly chop the tomatoes. Add to the bowl with the zucchini noodles. Crumble over the feta cheese and toss everything together well to combine.
    3.
    Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano to a small bowl. Whisk together to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the pasta salad. You should not need salt, as this will be provided by the olives, capers, and feta.
    4.
    Finely chop the fresh basil. Sprinkle the chopped basil over the salad. Toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
