Italian Spaghetti Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 pound spaghetti, broken into pieces
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
1
Prepare the spaghetti according to the specific package instructions provided by the manufacturer. Remove from heat and let it sit for a moment before draining off any excess water.
2
Next, rinse the spaghetti with cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove any remaining heat. Then, transfer it to a large serving container.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the salad dressing, cheese, seeds, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and peppers. Blend these ingredients together until they are perfectly mixed and a uniform consistency is achieved.
4
Now, add the cucumber and onion to the bowl with the dressing mixture. Stir these ingredients together until they are well combined.
5
Pour the entire dressing mixture over the spaghetti in the large serving container. Use a gentle tossing motion to coat the spaghetti evenly with the dressing.
6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, depending on your personal preference.
7
Finally, top the spaghetti with sliced tomatoes before serving.
