    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. 

    A plateful of Togolese Spaghetti 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!

    What to Serve with Togolese Spaghetti Salad 

    Togo has some other great dishes you can serve for an authentic meal. Togo Grilled Chicken recipe, Djenkoume which is a tomato cornmeal recipe and for dessert why not serve Keke a wonderful Lime Cake recipe.
