This summer Spaghetti Salad recipe is one of my go-to cookout recipes. Everyone loves it and it gets devoured in minutes. Spaghetti salad italian dressing cold spaghetti salad recipes
A family friend made this recipe for a party we had once. My family couldn’t get enough. Everyone devoured it and was begging for the recipe.
Turns out, it was a fairly simple cold spaghetti salad recipe. And, it’s perfect for summer parties because there isn’t any mayonnaise in it. Just lots of fresh veggies, cheese and and a flavorful dressing.
When making this recipe, I’ve found that it’s easiest to use a spaghetti pot like this one. It really does make it easier. And, if you can’t find sliced black olives, just use your egg slicer.
The recipe made a big batch so it’s the perfect pot luck recipe. But, it’s also easy to cut the recipe in half too.
