Tracy's Territory: Spaghetti Salad Recipe is Perfect Summer Dish

If you are waiting to quiet that craving for carbs, and want to try something that is a great alternative to potato or macaroni salad then I have the dish for you. It is simple to make and is absolutely delicious!

You will need the following:

Use Barilla thin spaghetti (or your favorite spaghetti of choice).

Mayonnaise

Celery

Green Onion

Parmesan Cheese

Italian Dressing

Olives (sliced)

Cook spaghetti according to the package instructions. The best way to cook the spaghetti for this recipe is definitely 'al dente.' Once the spaghetti is cooked, place it in a pretty container and put it in the refrigerator to cool completely!

Once that is done chop celery, green onion and olives. Take the spaghetti out of the refrigerator and add the Italian dressing. You need to coat all of the spaghetti with the dressing but do not drench it, spot it. The dressing will pretty much adhere to the pasta. Add the celery, green onion and olives. Use tongs to toss. Put it back in the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour. Before you serve, add some mayo until it is well coated. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and pepper! It is the best recipe ever and is great with anything you make for dinner!
