ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SALAD
This Italian Spaghetti Salad is a wonderful summer treat. It’s the perfect salad to take to any potluck and I always come home with an empty dish! The Italian dressing, plus all the summer vegetables, pepperoni and salami makes this one really good.
Italian Spaghetti Salad Ingredients Needed:
Thin Spaghetti
Cherry Tomatoes
Green Olives
Green Pepper
Red Onion
Salami
Pepperoni
Smoked Paprika
Italian Blend Cheese
Italian Dressing
This salad is super versatile, if you have an Italian Dressing you love to make this is a great salad to enjoy it with and you can add toppings you love. I just buy a bottle of Italian Dressing and makes this super easy, but you can always make your own.
I use an English Cucumber since there is no need to peel them and that makes it even easier. We love smoked paprika and it’s a great addition to this salad. You can always use black olives instead of the green but my family loves green olives. You can add artichokes, mushrooms, green chilies, etc. Super versatile. I used mixed cherry tomatoes to add more color! We love the Italian blend shredded cheese that comes in a bag, but you could use parmesan. You can also use any type of pasta you like, but we love the thin spaghetti in this salad.
If you love pasta salads, definitely give this Deviled Egg Macaroni Salad a try!
