The caprese zoodles are a very easy vegetarian recipe to make and perfect for hot days as they require no cooking. These are zucchini spaghetti made with a spiralizer or julienne cutter, dressed with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and Tropea red onion. Extremely fresh and tasty, they will be perfect for summer lunches and dinners! I generally serve zoodles as a main dish, but they are also great as a side.
