Step-by-Step Instructions for Italian Spaghetti Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the thin spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the spaghetti in a colander and rinse it under cold water for 1-2 minutes to cool. Set it aside in a large mixing bowl.
- While the spaghetti cools, dice the tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the cooled spaghetti and all the diced vegetables into the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together until well combined.
- Pour a generous amount of Italian dressing over the mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Cover the mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill.
- Before serving, toss the salad again and spoon it into serving bowls or a platter.

Notes
Chill time enhances flavors. Use fresh, seasonal veggies for the best taste. Diced vegetables should be uniform for even presentation.
