Directions
Step 1
Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons. Place the ribbons in a colander, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the Kalamata olives. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Step 4
In a large serving bowl, combine the zucchini ribbons, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Step 5
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 6
Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them on top of the salad as a garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy!
