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?
I have never made this recipe but it is perfect for summer thanks for sharing this one.
I’ve never heard of spaghetti salad, but it looks delicious.
Where have I been? I’ve never heard of spaghetti salad but it looks delish!
I have had this salad before and you won’t be sorry you tried it. You can put a lot of different ingredients in it. I had lost my recipe and trying to do it by memory. Thank you for posting this. It will be sure to hit the table throughout the summer and rest of the year!!
Hope everyone enjoys it like we do.
This is always one of my favorite recipes that people bring. Thank-you for this easy and tasty recipe!
Yum, this looks great! I love the combination of flavors! Saying hello from Work It Wednesday!

I make my a little different than this yummy one. I use 1 lb linguine broken in half boiled then rinsed in cold water. I add cut up in half cherry tomatoes or tomatoes cut up. And cut up cucumbers. Then I add 1 LG bottle all of it of Zesty Itallian Dressing and t h e whole bottle of McCormick Salad Supreme. It is just the right spice and everyone always ask me for the recipe.
Can you tell me what salad supreme is please
It’s a McCormick seasoning found on the spice isle. Good stuff!
Hi Angela, I would love you to stop by Food on Friday: Pasta over at Carole’s Chatter to add this to the recipe collection! Cheers!
I am invited to potlucks often and l love the simplicity of this one and it look appetizing. What I also love is the story about the 90’s you shared. Please consider submitting it or another recipe with a cherished story at http://cherishedmagazine.com/in-the-kitchen/
I’d love to see it in the magazine!
Now there is a recipe that would be good to feed a crowd and does not look to hard to make. Thanks for bringing it to #HomeMattersParty
