Ingredients
- 16 ounces spaghetti noodles
- 1 green pepper diced
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- 1 English cucumber sliced and halved
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- 2.25 ounces can sliced black olives drained
- ½ cup cheddar cheese cut into cubes
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 16 ounces Italian dressing
Instructions
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Prepare noodles al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water.
- In a large bowl - and I do mean LARGE bowl - add in all your diced veggies, olives and cheeses while noodles are cooking.
- Then add the cooked and cooled spaghetti on top. Season salad with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Give it all a gentle toss.
- Pour Italian dressing over noodles. Stir mixture carefully until combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap, place in the refrigerator and allow to cool for at least two hours before serving.

Notes
- Keep leftovers tightly covered with plastic wrap, or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing any leftover pasta salad. The texture could change and you'd end up with a mushy mess.
