My family loves this salad as either a main meal or a side dish. We especially enjoy making it during the hot summer months, using fresh ingredients right out of our garden. It looks terrific with all the different colors! Ingredients:
12 ounces thin spaghetti |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup diced pepperoni |
1/2 cup diced fully cooked ham |
1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
1/2 cup diced tomato |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped cucumber |
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives |
1 avocado, peeled and diced, optional |
1 bottle (8 ounces) italian salad dressing |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile in a large salad bowl, add the cheese, pepperoni, ham, green pepper, tomato, onion, cucumber and olives. Add avocado if desired.
2. Rinse pasta with cold water; drain well. Place on top of salad ingredients. Drizzle with salad dressing: toss lightly to coat. Chill until serving. Yield: 15-20 servings.
