Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, zucchini, and black olives. Add optional bell pepper and red onion, soaking onions in cold water if desired.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the vegetables. Sprinkle celery seed, paprika, and garlic powder over it. Pour the Italian dressing and add Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
- After chilling, toss the salad again and adjust seasoning. Serve cold as a side dish or light meal.

Notes
This salad can be made a day in advance. It tastes even better after chilling for more flavors to meld.
