How To Make CALIFORNIA SPAGHETTI SALAD
I cooked the noodles according to package instructions, then filtered and rinsed them in cold water.
After that, the dice collected vegetables. Zucchini, cherry tomatoes, green and red peppers, red onions, cucumbers, and black olives in a large mixing bowl.
To get the sauce, I whisked Italian dressing, sesame seeds, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, celery seeds, and garlic powder in another mixing bowl.
To finish, I tossed the cooked pasta with chopped vegetables and olives, then poured the marinade over it and threw all the ingredients well.
I put the container in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours after covering it with plastic wrap.
