Summer Spaghetti Salad

I love spaghetti but sometimes it’s nice to have something cold for dinner in the heat of the summer. So tonight I made a new recipe! It’s delicious and full of veggies!

Summer Spaghetti Salad

Ingredients:

16 oz box spaghetti noodles
1 1/2 cups cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 1/2 cups Italian Salad Dressing

Instructions:

~ Cook the spaghetti per package directions and aim for al-dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Once drained, add them to a large bowl.

~ Add the rest of the ingredients, except parmesan cheese.

~ Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables, use as much as you like. Toss to coat. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.

~ Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Not a fan of all those veggies, Chuck? Billy wouldn’t have touched this with a 10 foot pole either.

I wonder how this would be if I added small slices of pepperoni to it?

It would be great. I love a cold summer salad with something off the grill. I’d probably throw another cheese or two in there because WI dontcha know. Chunked up fresh mozz and crumbled feta or blue cheese if you like the funky stuff.

I think a few big fat shrimp would be good in there.

This is on my list! Love a good cold pasta in the summer as a side or even a main meal. Thanks for sharing!

Sharon,

My dad always made it like this, but add some McCormick suddenly salad seasoning and it’s amazing!

There’s no limit to how this can be doctored up! I’m loving the ideas guys, thanks!
