I've tried other spaghetti squash recipes, but I like this one since it's so crisp, colorful and fun. Plus, it can be a side dish or a relish.—Patricia Aurand, Findlay, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1 small spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut side down, in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Fill pan with hot water to a depth of 1/2 in. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, scoop out the squash, separating strands with a fork. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl; add the squash and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon as a salad or as a relish with burgers and hot dogs. Store in the refrigerator.
