This spaghetti salad would be a lovely choice for a picnic or potluck. It's quick to make, uses easily accessible ingredients, and packs a big flavor punch. Light, fresh, and colorful, with a zingy Italian taste, you can eat this as a side dish or a main meal. We added the optional grilled chicken and it was delicious!
