So let me introduce you to this delicious summer salad that’s packed with vegetables and flavor…
Ingredients Needed:
spaghetti squash pesto – you can make your own vegan walnut pesto or any store-bought pesto works as well! I’ve done both. sun dried tomatoes fresh parsley salt and pepper
How to Roast Spaghetti Squash
My all time favorite way to roast spaghetti squash is to use the ring method. I break down all the details in this post, but I’ll share the cliff-notes. By cutting your squash widthwise into circular rings, the strands are longer, like regular spaghetti noodles and they’re not watery either! After cutting your squash into rings, you simply scrape out the seeds and drizzle with olive (or avocado) oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast at 400º for about 30 minutes. After your spaghetti squash is roasted, this recipe is super simple! Simply mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and voila! You’ve got a delicious side salad ready to eat. And you can totally roast up your spaghetti squash up to two days ahead of time. Once roasted, just let it cool and then store in an air-tight container until you’re ready to prep the salad.
What to Serve with Spaghetti Squash Salad
In my opinion, this is the ultimate picnic or backyard BBQ salad recipe. It would be perfect to bring to a potluck! You just need a little protein to make this a full meal. Here are some protein options that would pair well:
Apple Cider Vinegar Chicken Blacked Salmon Chicken Burgers Tempeh Veggie Burger Crispy Baked Tofu
How Long Will This Salad Last?
This salad is best fresh, but you can store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. If you want to prep it in advance, I would roast the spaghetti squash ahead of time and then mix all of the ingredients just before serving.
