Servings

• 2 cup Spaghetti Squash
• 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes

• 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.

6. Let the salad rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
