Spaghetti Salad Ingredients

• Veggies – one of the best things about this pasta salad is that you can add any veggies you like.
• Spaghetti – I prefer to use a traditional spaghetti noodle for this recipe. However, feel free to use fettuccine or linguini if you prefer.

Parmesan Dressing Ingredients

To make the vinaigrette, simply blend all ingredients in a blender. This dressing will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator.

Let’s Make Spaghetti Salad

1. Dice all of the ingredients into bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook spaghetti, al dente, according to the package. Cool spaghetti by rinsing it in cold water. You can also make the spaghetti in advance and store it in the refrigerator to cool.
