This has been one long week!
I am so ready for a little weekend action. We basically are just spending the weekend catering to our girls social calenders, and somehow they manage to wake up even earlier on the weekends (how is that possible!?) but I am always still so happy for a Saturday and Sunday.
The weekends mean there is slightly less pressure to do the daily grind and I feel less guilty about drinking wine ☺
This is a little dish that I made last weekend and that we really enjoyed around here. It is no mystery how much I love spiralized vegetable noodles- and cucumbers with there fresh crunchy texture and flavor are some of my very favorites. And what goes better with cucumbers than Greek flavors!? This is a supped up Greek salad bowl with all of the good stuff and it makes for a really healthy and delicious dish. Pete loves to add Feta too- but I love it as is Vegan style. Definitely try this over your relaxing weekend or make it next week as a healthy lunch- you will love it too! 
- 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced flat leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons minced dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- kosher salt
- 1 large English Cucumber
- 4 ounces roasted red peppers, chopped
- ¼ cup kalamata olives
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- In a medium bowl combine the garbanzo beans with the garlic, parsley, oregano, oil and vinegar. Season with kosher salt.
- While the beans are marinating, use a vegetable spiralizer to make noodles from the large English Cucumber. Add them to a serving bowl and add the roasted red peppers, olives and tomatoes, and then the beans. Pour any extra marinade over everything and serve.

This is such a perfect lunch idea! So colorful and fresh!
Good Morning! This looks so lovely, as all your recipes do! I think I’m going to get a spiralizer, my daughter and I love salads and most veggies, and we’ve been drooling over these recipes!
Good Morning Sue! Thank you so much! My favorite is the inspiralizer!
Maybe your kiddos will “sleep in” on Sunday since time is moving forward so instead of them waking up at 6am, it’ll really be 7am and you’ll think it’s a win 😉 haha! Gimme a huge bowl of this noodle dish!! Looks so delish!!
Why am i so lazy about trying out my spiralizer? Must get this salad in my life now!
Looks so delicious…can’t wait to make it this weekend!
My kind of noodle bowl!
I loved that, it was absolutely delicious. The only difference was that I added feta cheese, great for a work lunch as well.
Colorful, healthy and beautiful! Win!
Super beautiful. These are the kinds of lunches I’d love to have every single day!
I am busting out my zoodler and my can of garbanzo beans immediately!!
