ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SALAD RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:        

• 1 package (16 ounces) thin spaghetti, halved
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup cucumber, diced
• 1 cup (5 oz) thin salami slices, cut into small pieces
• 1 medium green pepper, diced
• 1/2 small red onion, diced
• 1/2 cup black olives, thinly sliced
• 1 bottle (8 ounces) Italian salad dressing
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions, usually 1 minute less in time (el dente); drain. Add a drizzle of olive oil so pasta does not stick together. Refrigerate until cool.
2. Place in a large bowl; add tomatoes, cucumber, salami, pepper, red onion, and olives.
3. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over salad and toss to coat. Add the Parmesan cheese; gently stir together. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours; serve!
