Step-by-Step Instructions
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Rinse the spaghetti under cold running water to halt the cooking process. Set in a colander to remove excess moisture.
- Wash and chop your vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber and bell peppers, and finely chop the red onion.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled spaghetti and the chopped vegetables. Toss gently to mix.
- Pour the Italian dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add Parmesan cheese if desired and mix gently.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
