Spaghetti Salad

This is one of my most favorite recipes that I love to share with family, friends and bring to potlucks. It’s easy to prepare, the flavor is fantastic and it’s a crowd pleaser!
When I first saw the recipe and saw the paring of mayo and spaghetti, I was a bit apprehensive about trying the dish. Let me tell you, don’t be intimidated by the mayo and spaghetti combination, the creamy dressing compliments the flavors wonderfully well.
Switch out wheat noodles with gluten-free noodles and make the meal gluten-free for those with gluten sensitivities. Although the recipe is great on it’s own, customize it by adding tomatoes, olives, or other veggies.

Pair with Rustic Coast Pastry’s bread and it’s you’ve got a light lunch or two dinner side dishes! Enjoy!
