There are some recipes that never go out of style. Spaghetti Salad is one of them. Spaghetti tossed with fresh veggies, Italian dressing, and a secret ingredient.
McCormick Salad Supreme.
Okay, so maybe it’s not that much of a secret but it is oh-so good in this salad.
I’m aging myself by saying this. A lot. But back in the early to mid 1990’s I brought this pasta salad to just about every church potluck or progressive dinner I attended.
I was one of those people.
But I wasn’t alone. There was sure to always be a few of these salads on the buffet table. Mine was just better.
People didn’t mind. That much. Everyone loves a good spaghetti salad.
This summer I am bringing the classic spaghetti salad back into fashion. It made an appearance at one of my first backyard cookouts. I do promise though that I won’t be doing a repeat of the 90’s. I won’t be making this for every backyard cookout this summer. Maybe just a few more.
Potluck Spaghetti Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
1-lb Spaghetti Noodles, broken in half and cooked according to package directions
3-4 Roma Tomatoes, diced
1-cup Cucumbers, sliced and quartered
1-cup Monterey Jack Cheese, cubed
1-cup Zuchinni, cubed
1-cup Yellow Squash, cubed
1-cup Red Pepper, diced
1 small red onion, diced
2 cans sliced olives, drained
1 cup of Italian Dressing
2-3 Tablespoons of McCormick Salad Supreme
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss to coat dressing and evenly distribute vegetables and Salad Supreme. Refrigerate until it is time to serve.
For the Italian salad dressing, use whatever your favorite brand is. I used Olive Garden dressing this time and it turned out really good. I think this salad tastes even better if you make it the night before, and let it marinate in the fridge for a while.
Use whatever veggies you like. That’s one of the things I love about a salad like this. Just about anything goes. What would you add to it?
This salad looks super yummy! I’m going to have to give it a try at our next BBQ!

Had this a long time ago, never got the recipe though, It was delicious. Now I can make it anytime I want to. Thanks
This looks yummy! Bookmarking for my menu plan this week.
The Italian dressing on the Spaghetti salad looks so delicious and I like this salad for a Summertime dinner, and am going to make it. Thanks for such a good recipe.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before, but it looks great, and I have to try it. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
McCormick Salad Supreme and Italian Dressing were the pasta salads of my childhood! They were always so good. I actually forgot that they still make Salad Supreme, which makes me sad. That just means I need to go buy some and try this.
Oh I love this recipe I have never seen this kind of speg recipe but it looks very good and I will try it
I have never used spaghetti noodles for a pasta salad. This looks super delicious and fresh with all the veggies.
I think this sounds great. I have to be honest, I’d skip the squash & zucchini. (Though my Mom would definitely want them, lol.)
This is the perfect recipe for bringing a dish to a family outdoor party. My favorite thing to eat and make in the summer is pasta salads. This ones looks incredible.
