Summer is almost here! Just a few more days of school for my kids and I am looking forward to sleeping in and lounging around the pool. During the summer, I enjoy making lighter meals and fun salads. Pasta salads are some of my favorites. This Spaghetti Salad can be made up early in the day and refrigerated for later. And, leftover veggies like cucumbers or asparagus can be added to your salad along with cooked meats like grilled chicken, pepperoni, or salami. And, if you don't have any spaghetti on hand, you can use any other shaped pasta that you like.
The recipe below is just the beginning. The variations are endless. But, to me the best Spaghetti Salad is one made with homemade Italian Dressing. What do you like in your pasta salad?
Spaghetti Salad
13oz. pkg. spaghetti or angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
2oz. can sliced black olives, drained
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 cup Italian Dressing (my homemade recipe here)
salt and pepper to taste
When pasta is cool, add tomatoes, black olives, green onions, dressing, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Refrigerate for one hour and serve.
