Ingredients
  

For the Pasta

For the Veggies

  • 1/2 cup Red Onion Soak in cold water to reduce potency.
  • 1 cup Cucumber Peel for milder taste or leave skin on.
  • 1 cup Celery Can replace with bell pepper.
  • 1 cup Corn Canned or frozen works great.
For the Creamy Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Greek yogurt can be a healthier alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Plain yogurt is a light substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese Pecorino Romano can be used.
  • 2 tablespoons White Vinegar Apple cider vinegar is a great option.
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese. Add in white vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Break the spaghetti into 1-2 inch segments and cook in boiling salted water until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, then let cool completely for about 15 minutes.
  3. Chop the red pepper, red onion, cucumber, and celery into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled spaghetti with the diced veggies and drained corn.
  4. Pour the creamy dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together until well-coated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Stir before serving.
