Zucchini Fettuccine Salad

It just looks like fettuccine. The fettuccine effect is accomplished by peeling the zucchini with a potato pealer to make fettuccine like ribbons. Then you use the ribbons. I have been making it like this for a couple years and people love it. It's filling, it's healthy and it has a plethora of flavors. I make it with these ingredients but it's a salad. You can use what you like. Make it your own.
Once you shred the zucchini you can add any ingredients and dressing you like

Ingredients
1 medium Zucchini, Shredded into ribbons with a potato peeler.
4 or 5 think slices Vidalia Onion
6 Calamata Olives coarsely chopped
3 Sundried Tomatoes, Softened and sliced into strips. (To soften sundried tomatoes soak in very hot water for 15 minutes.) Then drain and pat dry with paper towel.
1 small chunk Feta Cheese crumbled
1 Tbsp. Walnut pieces
1 Clove Garlic, chopped. 
Salt, Pepper, Fresh Basil to taste.
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

Prepare
Place garlic in salad bowl and rub it all over. Leave the garlic in the bowl. 
Mix all the ingredients except the salt, pepper, basil and oil and vinegar in bowl with the garlic. 
Toss well. 
Season with salt, pepper and basil. 
Toss again. 
Add oil and vinegar and toss one more time.
