Notes

This recipe is for 4 servings of Mediterranean zoodles.
To use dry sun-dried tomatoes, cut them into strips with scissors, then submerge them in boiling water to soften. Use regular olive oil to replace the oil that would have been in the jar.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator and should be eaten within 1-2 days.
