For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the zucchini ribbons lightly before adding them to the salad. If you don't have Kalamata olives, other types of olives will work as well. Just be sure to pit them first. Adjust the amount of feta cheese to your liking. You can also substitute goat cheese or another crumbly cheese. This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, the zucchini may become a bit softer over time.
