Chef Tips:
For additional protein, add a grilled boneless, skinless chicken thigh.
A mandolin-style grater or spiralizing tool can also be used to create the zoodles.

If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours. Fold in avocado
and cheese just before serving.
Add minced jalapeño chile pepper or crushed red pepper fl akes for a little spice.

Pump up the Protein:
Skewer some Wholesome Pantry shrimp, and brush on extra
dressing, for a delish, protein-packed addition to this summer-salad.
