Lubys Cafeteria Spaghetti Salad
Why I Love This Recipe
I had never made Spaghetti salad until it was posted on the TOH BB early this year by Redraspberrygirl. The recipe below is my version of the original one posted. I am so in love with this recipe, I just can’t tell you. I changed it a bit from the original to suit our tastes and added the red bell pepper and broccoli which only made a good salad even better. This makes a really big bowl full which is good to take to pot lucks but it gets empty around here real quick too. Hope you try this one.
