Provided by Beth Horban

Categories     Potato Salads

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb spaghetti noodles
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
SWEET POPPY SEED DRESSING
1 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp onion juice
1 c salad oil
1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Boil Spaghetti noodles until done, but firm. Drain, cool by covering with cold water. Drain.
  • 2. Add chopped vegetables and enough dressing to coat noodles. Stir.
  • 3. To make Poppy Seed Dressing, combine sugar, mustard, salt and vinegar in the top of a double boiler. Heat over hot water until sugar is dissolved. Put into blender and slowly blend in onion juice and salad oil. Add poppy seeds at the end.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.

  • Season the pasta to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until the pasta is flavorful but not overpowering.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs or grated cheese. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
