Togolose Spaghetti Salad is a delicious little salad that can also be put on a French baguette for a lovely lunch.  It has a wonderful tangy mayonnaise based dressing that makes this a creamy and delicious salad.

This salad is super easy to make and you may have all the ingredients you need right in you refrigerator and panty.  

The main ingredients are:  

Spaghetti, tomatoes, beet, bell pepper, carrots, red onion, and eggs. 

For the dressing: Mayonnaise, dijon mustard, vinegar, olive oil, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. 

To make this  a Togolese spaghetti Salad it is not made with Italian dressing, meat sauce or parmesan cheese like you would expect in a Spaghetti Salad.  The eggs are the key to this special salad and like I said earlier the dressing. 

Special Equipment

There is no special equipment needed to make this Togolese dish, just a pot to boil and a knife to cut up the ingredients, easy peasy!
