Pepperoni Pasta Salad

This pepperoni pasta salad is a fun dish you can try on some weeknights. The pepperoni gives it a rich and peppery flavor balanced well with mild spinach, mozzarella, and pasta. It’s quick, very filling, and flavorful. Enjoy!

If you're up for making your own salad dressing, we think the Caesar Dressing or the classic Thousand Island Dressing will be a perfect match.
