    Zucchini noodles are served with a caper sauce, red pepper and grilled Feta cheese.   This is a delicious tangy dish that jump starts your taste buds.

    If you are the type of person to drink pickle juice from the jar, then you will probably enjoy this recipe. Now, that’s not a sentence I ever thought I’d write! The tangy, briny flavour of the capers goes well with the sharp creamy Feta cheese with a hint of sweetness from the grilled red peppers.

    Zucchini noodles

    Making zucchini noodles are half the fun of cooking with them.  I feel like a young child playing with PlayDough as I push them through my spiralizer.   They are easy to cook with and handle too.   The only real decision is what sauce to cook them with.  

    Zucchini noodles

    I normally serve my zucchini noodles with a creamy sauce but wanted a change so thought I’d try a caper sauce.  There’s a cauliflower dish with capers and lemon that I make which I adore, purely because of the caper taste.  Perhaps I AM one of those people who would drink pickle juice?

    This caper sauce would be great with fish or chicken too.  You might want to serve it on the side, rather than slather over the zucchini noodles in this recipe.   This zucchini noodle recipe is so easy to make and could be whipped up for an easy lunch.  Which I did!   As I already had a jar of grilled red peppers in the cupboard, that cut down on the time to make this too.

    When you grill the Feta cheese, make sure that the slices are not too thin as you want it to hold some of its shape.   Grilled Feta cheese is delicious and a great salad topper with a bit of seasoning added.  It helps balance the caper taste and gives this zucchini noodle recipe an added texture.
