California Spaghetti Salad

WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE?

You know how much I love spaghetti, well pasta of any kind really and in a salad is perfect for those warm summer days. It’s perfect at a picnic because you don’t have to worry about the mayonnaise. Plus it’s so pretty and full of color. It goes with just about anything and it’s usually the first bowl emptied. But if there’s leftovers then Spaghetti Salad is great for lunch the next day! This salad gets better with time, as the flavors meld together.

I use Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette, but you can use your favorite Italian dressing instead. I put the seasoning that I use on the recipe, but alway season to your taste. I love the little kick from the vinaigrette and the pepperonici’s

Any pasta salad soaks up the dressing as it sits. So before serving mix it up and taste. You may need to add a little more dressing, I know I usually do, so I alway take the bottle with me to a picnic or BBQ to have on hand.

    Very Good! Only 2 of us so I cut most ingredients in 1/2. Added 1/2 each chopped green & red pepper, sprinkle of chopped onions, and artichoke hearts to the recipe posted. I also used Zesty Italian dressing instead of the dressing in recipe and left out the Peppercochini’s (sp). Served with grilled Teriyaki Shrimp skewers.

    Donna,think Kraft makes it, I’ve seen it in grocery stores before. But I always buy Zesty Italian dressing for my pasta salads.

    I’d cut down on the amount of spaghetti by about half. I’d also increase the amount of protein by adding fresh mozzarella cheese. I used small mozzarella cheese balls that had been marinated in olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes and cut them in half. Very good!
