Preparation Steps
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add your spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, carefully drain it in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, and slice the olives. Aim for uniform pieces.
- Combine the cooled spaghetti and chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl, tossing gently.
- Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
