Ingredients:

• 200g spaghetti
• 1 cucumber
• 1 carrot
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup corn kernels
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup black olives

Kitchen Tools:

Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse the spaghetti under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.

While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cut the cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and black olives into small, bite-sized pieces. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the fresh basil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, chopped vegetables, feta cheese, and fresh basil. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the spaghetti salad and toss everything together until well combined. The vibrant colors of the different vegetables will create a beautiful rainbow effect in the salad.

To serve, portion the Rainbow Spaghetti Salad into bowls and garnish with a few extra basil leaves. Enjoy this dish as a light and refreshing meal on its own or as a delightful side dish at your next barbecue or picnic.
