Here you go Lynn!


Spaghetti Salad

1 lb spaghetti
2 tomatoes, diced
1 carrot thinly sliced (I shred mine)
½ bottle salad supreme seasoning
16 oz bottle Italian salad dressing
2 cucumbers diced
1 red onion, diced (or Vidalias when they are in season)
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 can ripe olives, drained, chopped

Cook spaghetti according to pkg; drain and cool.
Combine spaghetti and veggies.
Add salad seasoning and Italian dressing.
Combine all together and refrigerate.
Will keep several days; always best the second day.
If desired you can add chopped ham, salami or pepperoni

Yum, that sounds good. Kind of like a pasta salad with new type of pasta. Fun. I will try this, once I find that salad seasoning. HMMMM?

Re: Spaghetti Salad

Blondie, I've made this salad for about 30 years. I think it was the first pasta salad I ever tried. It gets even better the second day. It's getting hard finding Salad Supreme but I recently spotted it at Dollar General (of all places). Maybe this will be our dinner tomorrow...thanks for reminding me of this old faithful recipe....Barb

this is what the seasoning is, it's a McCormick brand. Not sure if you have it in Australia.

Here is a copycat recipe I found so if you had to, you can make your own seasoning.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon poppy seed
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons romano cheese (optional)

Directions:

1 Combine all ingredients and mix well.
2 Store in a sealable container in the fridge.

Re: Spaghetti Salad

Thank you everyone, that does sound very yummy and thanks Karen for the seasoning recipe I certainly don't think we have that one. My DH isn't big on salad, calls it rabbit food, this sounds yummy so I don't mind if I don't have to share...tehe. I may pass on the olives though or find something to substitute.

Re: Spaghetti Salad

Karen, thanks for the seasoning recipe. Barb's correct. It is getting difficult to find the salad supreme. Hope y'all enjoy this as much as I do.

Re: Spaghetti Salad

Ooohh...Blondie, thanks for this recipe! I have made this before but it was just lacking something and now I know what! Will check at the Dollar store and or/make my own. I like having my own concotions in the spice cupboard!
