Description

This cold spaghetti salad recipe gets its zesty flavor profile from pepperoni, onion, olives, Italian dressing, tomatoes, and salad seasoning mix.

Ingredients

1 pound thin spaghetti
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
1 small red onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package pepperoni sausage, chopped
1 (4 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms
1 (3 ounce) jar sliced green olives, drained
1/4 (2 8/13 ounce) bottle salad seasoning mix

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; rinse under cold water and drain. Transfer to a large bowl.
2 Pour Italian dressing and vinegar over spaghetti; mix well. Add Parmesan cheese, diced tomatoes, onion, pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and salad seasoning mix; stir until well combined.
3 Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate, covered, for about 3 hours, or marinate 8 hours to overnight.
