Zucchini Noodle Pasta Salad
This healthy zucchini noodle salad has all the flavors you love in a classic pasta salad but we’ve swapped in zoodles for wheat pasta, which makes the salad lighter, lower in carbs and gluten-free. Serve it with grilled chicken or fish for a light and healthy summer dinner.
