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 don’t know if I have ever seen a spaghetti salad before – this would be fun to make!
Looks really good, I think I’ll add some salami cut into cubes or pepperoni! Thank You!
I made this this weekend as a side with grilled steak and corn on the cob. It’s been years since I made spaghetti salad and I forgot how much I love it. There was a little left over and I actually had it for breakfast the next morning ! Great recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Some of these old recipes are the best.
Looks wonderful, I love pasta salads! The only thing I would change here is to add some cut up baby portobello mushrooms – (just personal preference). Thanks for a great recipe, pinned and planned!
This looks really delicious and it’s great for a potluck. Nice recipe.
What a great recipe. I love angel hair so I may make this over the holiday weekend!
I love pasta and salads so will have to try this recipe. I love all of the ingredients. I never thought about using spaghetti in a cold salad.
Love taking cold salads to picnics.
This would be very good to take to a BBQ next week. Thanks.
This looks so amazing.. Now this is something that my family would go crazy over.. Thanks so much..
