Ingredients

For The Pasta Salad

1 pound spaghetti noodles cooked and cooled
1 hot house English cucumber peeled and sliced
1/4 cup fresh parsley diced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
2 cups cherry tomatoes diced in half
1 orange bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
2/3 cups black olives sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/4 cup dressing homemade or store bought

For The Italian Dressing

3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons minced dried onions
1 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

Start by cooking your spaghetti noodles as directed on the box. Once the pasta is done drain, and run cold water over pasta until it is fully cooled off. Then drain and place in a large bowl.
Now if you are going to make the homemade dressing add the oil, red wine vinegar and all the herbs and seasonings on a bowl or mason jar. Mix to combine and set aside.
Now prep all your vegetables by dicing them into bite size pieces. I did peel our cucumbers but that is optional of course. The tomatoes I diced in half.
Pour all the veggies and grated cheese into a bowl with the cold spaghetti pasta.
Pour on the dressing whether you use homemade or a bottled Italian dressing.
Stir well to coat the ingredients. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
Season with more salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Notes

Vegetables - You can use any vegetables you want. Even red onions, zucchini, etc. would be great to mix in.

Pasta - Make sure the pasta is cold after it is cooked or it can cause the vegetables to become soggy.
