A refreshing and vibrant spaghetti salad packed with fresh vegetables and a tangy dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
Rinsing the spaghetti in cold water stops the cooking process and prevents sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, halved grape tomatoes, sliced red onion, sliced cucumber, diced bell pepper, and sliced black olives.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, celery seed, garlic powder, ground black pepper, dried dill weed, and salt to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the spaghetti and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the spaghetti or crushing the vegetables.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavor as the dressing infuses into the ingredients.
Before serving, sprinkle the salad with grated parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve the salad chilled for the best taste and texture.
