Spaghetti and Vegetable Salad
1 1/4 cup Italian dressing - bottled or homemade
Cook the spaghetti according to the package. Once done, drain and rinse immediately in cold water to cool it down.
Chop up the four cups of vegetables. Just about any vegetable will do, but my family's favorites include red onion, tomatoes, bell peppers, black olives, cucumbers, summer squash and peas.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta and vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix until it's well combined. This salad is great when it's had time to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours.
If you don't have Italian dressing on hand, make a simple vinaigrette with 3/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine or white wine vinegar and some salt and pepper.
