This Mediterranean Pasta Salad is a delightful twist on the classic pasta salad, featuring fresh vegetables and a tangy dressing.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and prevents it from sticking together.
Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, green bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even distribution of flavors in every bite.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and seasoning salt to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before mixing it with the salad.
Combine the cooked spaghetti, chopped vegetables, and dressing in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing for the best flavor.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavor and makes it more refreshing.
