1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:
Cook the spaghetti until al dente; rinse with cold water and drain well.
Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine spaghetti, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, black olives, and parsley.
Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss until fully coated.
