Also called: Summer Spaghetti
I do not remember ever eating this dish, but it was in the part of Millie’s rolodex for “leftovers” and that struck me as interesting and possibly helpful. I don’t often have leftover spaghetti, but I thought this might be a great recipe for making the entire box. Use some for the hot dinner and then turn the rest into this cold dish. Hmmmmm…
Transcribed:
1lb Spaghetti (#8 or #9)
1 bottle Italian Salad Dressing
3/4 bottle Salad Supreme by McCormick (dried ings.)
Optional: chopped onions, green peppers (chopped), celery (chopped), & little salad tomatoes
Cook spaghetti after breaking spaghetti into 3-4″ lengths. Drain and cool thoroughly. Mix all other ings. and add to spaghetti. Put into a sealed container. Better when stored in refrigerator over nite. Stir a couple times while storing.
My notes: I am amused that vegetables are “optional”. I am also amused by the note to stir the spaghetti while it is stored. You mean over night? Like get up and go stir the pasta in the fridge? But the good news is that decades later McCormick is still making Salad Supreme!

Hmm, interesting idea. We usually have leftover spaghetti even if we never have trouble using it up. But this sounds very summery.
We call this pasta salad and use rotini instead of spaghetti. If you don’t stir it, the dressing just sinks to the bottom and it’s not as good. But with cucumbers and tomatoes? Yummy!
I’m a little sad that I usually can’t try the receipes out because there are products mentioned of which I don’t know what they are, neither can I buy them in Europe…:(. I really wonder why someone would have to buy italian dressing since it’s not complicated to make dressing by yourself.
Love Millie’s handwriting!
You have to remember that these recipes were from a certain era – so NOT making something from scratch was a bit of a luxury! If you look online for the salad supreme you should be able to find exactly what’s in there (mostly what we call “Italian seasonings”)
My mom makes this using rotini and some shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or whatever is around)
Sounds like another delicious version of what I already make at home. Excellent for whenever there is social gathering and feeds a lot of people as a side dish. I have served it to my children by itself and haven’t had any complaints.
