Time 1h10m

Yield 8 side servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano (crushed in your hand before adding)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups cooked spaghetti squash, cut to desired lengths
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper (or red/yellow/orange if you don't like green)
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (chickpeas)

Steps:

  • (To cook the spaghetti squash, if you haven't yet: preheat oven to 350 degrees F; slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds; poke holes all over the squash with the tip of a knife; spray a cooking sheet with pan spray and bake the squash halves face down for 30 to 40 minutes or until easily pierced by a fork; let cool until they can be handled, then gently scoop out the insides with a fork - they will form into spaghetti-like strands).
  • In a bowl, combine the vinegars, olive oil, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and garlic and whisk well.
  • In another bowl, combine the squash, tomato, cucumber, feta, bell pepper, onion, onions, olives, and garbanzo beans, then add the whisked vinegar mixture and toss well.
  • Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Categories     Vegetable     Side

Yield 8 cups (Servings)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 TBS red wine vinegar
2 tsp. EVOO
1 tsp. dried organo
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 garlic cloves
3 cups cooked spaghetti squash
2 cups chopped tomato
1 cup diced cucumber

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size. The skin should be smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Cook the spaghetti squash properly. The best way to cook spaghetti squash is to roast it in the oven. This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and give it a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to shred the spaghetti squash. This will help to create long, thin strands that resemble spaghetti.
  • Don't overcook the spaghetti squash. The squash should be tender but still slightly firm. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
  • Be creative with your toppings. Spaghetti squash can be topped with a variety of sauces, vegetables, and proteins. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
