Pasta Salad with Zucchini is a light and flavorful dish combining tender pasta, fresh zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and a zesty vinaigrette. This Mediterranean-inspired salad is often accented with herbs like basil or parsley and can include extras such as olives, feta cheese, or a protein like grilled chicken for added versatility. Packed with vibrant veggies, it's a great source of fiber, vitamins (like vitamin C from zucchini and tomatoes), and antioxidants. The use of olive oil in the dressing provides heart-healthy fats, while whole-grain pasta can boost the fiber content if used in place of traditional pasta. While nutritious, watch for portion sizes and added cheese or dressings, which can increase calorie and sodium levels. Perfect as a side dish or stand-alone meal, Pasta Salad with Zucchini is a delicious way to enjoy nutrient-rich Mediterranean flavors.
