I have eaten many different types of salad in my life, but this was one that was very different from others. At first I thought I was eating spaghetti with mayonnaise and it was a bit strange. When I asked if this was a spaghetti dish, they told me that this was a side dish or salad. Some people call this pasta salad or spa salad here in Japan. Me and the family enjoys this very much and it was very easy to prepare. I would to share this simple dish. Enjoy
