Instructions
- Lay the zucchini noodles in a single layer on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let rest for 15 minutes to allow the moisture come out. After 15 minutes, pat dry.

- Serve with pepperoncinis and lemon wedges.
Notes
- This salad does not hold up well as leftovers unless you keep the spiralized vegetables separate.
- Only use the dressing as you eat the salad, otherwise the ingredients will get soggy.
- Add other ingredients, like chopped spinach, arugula, roasted red peppers and other crunchy vegetables.
