Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups spaghetti squash, cooked and well drained
6 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
6 yellow cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, smashed
dried oregano, to taste
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all veggies with the squash.
  • Add dressing and toss to coat well. Adjust seasoning.

Tips:

  • For the best results, choose a spaghetti squash that is firm and heavy for its size.
  • Be careful when cutting the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Use a sharp knife and cut through the squash perlahan-lahan.
  • When roasting the spaghetti squash, place it cut-side up on a baking sheet. This will help the squash to steam and become tender.
  • Once the spaghetti squash is roasted, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
  • For the dressing, use a good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can also add some dried herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the spaghetti squash, cherry tomatoes, red onion, artichoke hearts, and basil in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.

Conclusion:

Sicilian spaghetti squash salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try!
