Creamy Goat Cheese Greek Zoodle Salad is fun to make. Bursting with Mediterranean flavours. Makes the perfect side to any meal, especially during grilling season.
Zoodles (zucchini noodles) are so much fun. Perfect in salads, zoodle bowls, and as a pasta/noodle substitute. How do you like to eat them?
I am obsessed with zoodles, but it doesn’t stop there. I am even more obsessed with my spiralizer. What a fun kitchen gadget. Zucchini, potatoes, cucumbers, anything that can get turned into noodles will have their turn. Thick, thin or long shaved strands, new and tasty recipes will be happening in the kitchen.
DO YOU HAVE A SPIRALIZER?
Believe me I didn’t think I needed this handy dandy kitchen gadget. I know there are ways to make noodles with one. I have a mandolin (yup another gadget) that works fairly well. My husband stresses me out when I use it, so I try to make sure he is not around. Too many horror stories seen on MasterChef and Hell’s Kitchen have him hovering over me when I use it.
After hours of research I finally decided on the OXO Good Grips 3-Blade Spiralizer (#affiliate). So many reviews on other brands commented on poor design, hard to clean, and not effective. This IS NOT the case with this particular model. It works fantastic, is easy to clean, and it suctions to the counter so it doesn’t move around while you use it either.
ZUCCHINI FRENZY
Zucchinis are available all year round. When growing season is in full swing, everything from muffins, bread, cakes, and one of our favourite ways to eat it, Zucchini Burger with Sriracha & Pancetta top the list.
Zoodles have been on the culinary scene for a long time. What a fun way to incorporate nutritious zucchini into recipes. The perfect pasta substitute that can be eaten raw or slightly cooked.
This Creamy Goat Cheese Greek Zoodle Salad is a great way to experiment with zoodles. Used as an appetizer, side dish or even a stand alone meal. Add some sliced chicken, turkey or even sautéed shrimp on top and you have a great dinner salad.
This zoodle salad uses a few simple ingredients. Zucchini, black olives, goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, seasoning, and a simple Greek dressing. Toss, garnish with some fresh parsley, and you have a delicious creamy salad, bursting with Mediterranean flair.
With grilling season finally here, Creamy Goat Cheese Greek Zoodle Salad is going to be a staple for our backyard BBQ’s.

This spiralizer ROCKS for sure.
I love spiralized zucchini, and anything with kalamata olives is a huge win in my book. I could eat bowls of those!

What a great summer salad and I am in love with the zoodles. I have not yet made them myself, but have been seeing great recipes like this to use them. I definitely need to give it a try.
Yes you will soon love them as much as we do.
Oh man I have a weakness for anything involving goat cheese. I also have been looking for new zoodle recipes and this is definitely one to try
The goat cheese is so creamy and works well in this recipe. Hope you give it a try.
Gah there are so many mandoline horror stories! I have one from my own kitchen – just moments after I stressed the importance of being careful and working slowly to my friend who was helping me cook for a party. Ay yi yi. That creamy goat cheese dressing, though. That is far from a horror story. Looks so tasty!
Oh no….he makes me nervous as he stands over my shoulder….so it was the perfect excuse to get another kitchen gadget.
What a beautiful and delicious looking salad! The spiralizer is addictive once you start using it. I love the Greek flavor combination you’ve put together here.
This has very quickly become a favourite around here.
Your Greek zoodle salad looks delicious. I love Goats cheese and olives and I really like the idea of adding some chicken or turkey to make a main meal. I can’t wait for courgette season.
It is so easy and SOOOOO delicious. Hope you give it a try. Feta and olives are so good together!!
I watched yoru video and this salad looks amazing and easy to make. So fresh love mediterranean ingredients. That creamy feta I want a double scoop =)

Wonderful! I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy zoodles, and this looks so delicious! Perfect for summer (which I hope is coming here soon!).
Yes it is the perfect summer salad for sure.
Zoodles are so much fun to make. I use my spirlizer just cause I think it’s easier to use in my opinion. When it comes to using the mandoline I let the husband do that. This salad has all the flavors I love. Will need to try this soon!
HAHA…well I use the mandoline with supervision (apparently he thinks I need it).
I have a spiralizer, but don’t use it nearly enough. This salad looks incredible! I love that shot of you drizzling the sauce over the layers.
Thanks…that was hubby’s hands in the shot!!
I liked this idea so much I have already shared it around. I now need to bookmark the recipe because my wife would totally love me to make this one.
OMG it is so delicious and easy to make. Leftovers keep well too.
I looove my spiralizer and making zoodles and all kinds of other noodles – sweet potato and cucumber are my next favorites. This dish looks fabulous and I can imagine all those flavors pair fabulously together!
OUr new favourite salad…and my new favourite kitchen gadget.
I am seriously starting to reconsider to get a spiralizer. Somehow they haven’t appeared yet here around or online. Love the look of your salad, that would be a perfect summer time refreshing and healthy salad idea.
Check the link in my blog….you can get it online!!
I love goat cheese with zoodles. I thought with summer coming up I would try out a cold salad and see how it holds up. This recipe looks perfect!
This is so delicious….and the leftovers (if you are lucky to have any) keep well too.
Zoodles are just so fun! I love this salad…it looks full of yummy ingredients and is super healthy! What more could anyone want? 🙂
I agree…zoodles are fun and delicious.
Summer calls for a salad like this. I am in love with this spiralizer it makes the salad extra special. Quick salad like this are perfect for busy morning
I love this spiralizer too.
I’m always in a big dilemma… to buy or not to buy a spiralizer… I do zoodles with the mandoline still but this triangle shape version of yours makes me want to convert. Without saying the dish looks delish!!! I’m a BIG fan of goat cheese! I would put it in everything if I could… now I got to try a new way to use my favorite cheese! Yummy!
I know I did the mandoline version too….but then I caved and bought this awesome spiralizer…you will love it!!
We give our spiralizer quite a workout, especially during the summer! This salad looks scrumptious – a staple side for all the grilling about to go down. Hoping it warms up soon.
I have been eating this…and haven’t even grilled anything yet.
I have to get that zoodle maker because these recipes are everywhere now! Your salad looks so simple yet crazy good. Yum!
It really is a fun gadget to play with.
I love my spiralizer, I got one years ago when they first came out. Seems like one of this items that are here to stay. Your zoodle salad looks like the perfect Summer salad. Will pin it for later, certainly be giving it a try.
Yes I am so glad I took the plunge to get one.
Great recipe!
Thanks…hope you give it a try.
What a perfect summery salad! Zoodles are such a great idea!
They are fun to make and even more fun to eat.
What a hearty looking salad! I love the fact that this Greek Zoodle Salad is a balanced meal which will be perfect for dinner. Thanks Gloria!
You are welcome Fred…hope you give it a try.
This salad looks so good. I have not yet tried using the veggie noodle-maker. I do want to try it!
It sure is a fun little tool in the kitchen.
Oh I’ve been so jealous looking at all the zoodle Salad recipes recently. I’m going to go hunt for the spiralizer soon. This green salad zoodled looks awesome.
I know I had to finally break down and buy one…and I am so glad I did.
I just love salads like this. Fresh, creamy and so good.
This is my new favourite for sure.
Great photos, this looks really good! I’ve never tried a spiralizer, looks pretty interesting. Thanks for the brand advice, I’ve bought other OXO gear and thought it was excellent.
It really works great!!
This is such a gorgeous salad! Perfect for the upcoming summer picnics! I love Oxo brand products! They are durable and very cost effective!
Yes it works really well…they are great products.
Zoodles! Everything about this looks absolutely delicious! Loving that dressing!
We love this salad.
Do you think I could spiralize cucumbers instead of zucchini? Not a big zucchini fan here. The goat cheese idea sounds yummy!
YES…I have done it.
This sounds delicious! I am obsessed with both zoodles and anything with the Greek salad ingredients!
We LOVE this salad.
Healthy eating, delicious and easy to prepare. Thanks Homemade & Yummy!!!
You are very welcome…glad you love it.
