Mediterranean Salad

By golly, it's Friday as I write today's blog entry and it seems like a perfect time to share with you one of my favorite healthy salad recipes.

Healthy Mediterranean Salad

1 (8 oz) package spaghetti, uncooked
1 (6 oz) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 (4 oz) can sliced black olives, drained
1 cup frozen English peas, thawed
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 small zucchini, chopped
1/2 purple onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup veggie parmesan topping
1/2 mayo-type salad dressing
1/2 cup commercial Italian salad dressing
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tso dried dillweed

Cook spaghetti and then rinse and drain.

Combine artichokes and the next six ingredients in a large bowl. Add spaghetti, stirring well.

Combine dressings and remainder of ingredients: stir well.

Cover and chill.

You can also make this healthy mediterranean salad recipe with spiral noodles rather than spaghetti.

Ah, molto buon!
