Greek-Style Zucchini Noodles With Tomatoes, Olives, And Feta
I’ve been infatuated with zucchini noodles for a few years now, and I used to make them with a simple julienne peeler before I discovered the Spiralizer. I think it was using some of my favorite flavor combinations combined with zucchini noodles that made me into such a fan. And a few years ago when I was cooking with my niece Kara, we had a brainstorming session that produced these Greek-Style Zucchini Noodles. And now it’s almost summer and zucchini noodles are starting to sound good for a low-carb and gluten-free dinner idea, so I’m reminding you about this recipe!
Kara and I both loved these barely-cooked zucchini noodles with cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, crumbled Feta, and Greek seasonings when we tested this recipe. We made this with the Greek-seasoned mix of vegetables and Feta mixed right in the pan with the noodles, but if this makes more than you’ll eat at one meal I recommend keeping noodles and the Greek tomato-olive mixture separate and mixing it at the table so you can store the leftovers separately.
We used the mix of red and yellow cherry tomatoes but use any type of cherry tomato you have, and to keep it kid-friendly we used plain black olives, but you could adapt the mix of vegetables to your own taste, and this made a perfect easy healthy dinner for a hot summer day. And if you’re a fan of Greek Salad like I am, I promise you’re going to love this idea for an easy dinner.
There are a lot of different gadgets that can be used to make zucchini noodles, but I’m a big fan of the Spiralizer! (affiliate link) If you don’t want to invest in a spiralizer, check my post on Three Ways to Make Noodles from Zucchini and Other Vegetables. Whichever method you use, be sure to cut a lengthwise slit halfway through the zucchini before you start making noodles, otherwise you’ll get one long noodle!
Zucchini noodles are good raw, but for many dishes I like them just slightly cooked. Here are the steps I use for cooking them:
(This is just a summary of the steps shown in the photos; scroll down to see the complete recipe below.)
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Greek Seasoning, Greek oregano, and black pepper to make the flavorful dressing. Cut up cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olives, and crumble the Feta.
Mix those ingredients together, saving a little Feta to sprinkle on the finished dish. I used my beloved Spiralizer on the medium-sized blade to make the zucchini noodles for this recipe. Be sure to cut a slit lengthwise in the zucchini before you spiralize or you’ll get long strings of noodles that are hard to eat.
To cook the zucchini noodles, heat olive oil in a very large frying pan. (You might need to cook the noodles in two batches if you only have a 12 inch pan.) Add garlic cloves and cook long enough to season the oil.
Then remove the garlic, add Greek Seasoning to the oil, add zucchini noodles and stir-fry just until they start to soften. Turn off heat and stir in the tomato-olive mixture.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with more Feta crumbled over the top if desired.
I’d love this with something like Pureed Cauliflower with Garlic, Parmesan, and Goat Cheese for a low-carb meatless meal! Or serve as a side dish for Very Greek Grilled Chicken!

I love The Spice House Greektown Seasoning, but there are a lot of good brands. I used my fresh-frozen lemon juice for this recipe.
