Greek Zucchini Noodles with Lemon-Herb Sardines

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the zucchini noodles: Using a vegetable peeler, shave the 2 medium zucchini into long, thin ribbons, like noodles. Place these zucchini noodles in a colander, sprinkle with the 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess water. After 10 minutes, gently squeeze handfuls of the zucchini noodles to remove more moisture.
2. 2Prepare the sardine mixture: Open the 1 can (about 113 g) of sardines in olive oil. Drain the oil from the can. Place the drained sardines into a medium bowl and gently flake them apart with a fork.
3. 3Add the flavorings to the sardines: To the flaked sardines, add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano, 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley (chopped), and 0.125 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together gently with a fork until just combined.
4. 4Combine the ingredients: Add the prepared zucchini noodles and the 0.25 cup of Kalamata olives to the bowl with the sardine mixture. Toss everything together very gently with your hands or two forks until the zucchini noodles are coated with the sardine mixture.
5. 5Serve the dish: Divide the Greek Zucchini Noodles with Lemon-Herb Sardines between two plates. Serve immediately.
