Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, or farfalle work best for spaghetti salad.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy in the salad.
  • Rinse the pasta with cold water: This will stop the cooking process and help the pasta to cool down quickly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Some good options include cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini.
  • Add some protein: Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu are all great additions to spaghetti salad.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is a good option. You can also use a store-bought dressing if you prefer.
  • Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to become more refreshing.
