Pizza Pasta Salad

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package garden spiral noodles, cooked and cooled
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices, halved (more to taste)
  • 1 can black olives, drained well
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup diced green or red pepper
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 bunches green onions, sliced
  • 1 1/2 – 2 cups zesty Italian dressing (I use Olive Garden)*, divided use

Directions

  1. Toss together the noodles, pepperoni, olives, cheeses, peppers, tomatoes, and green onion. Stir in 1 cup dressing. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight to allow pasta to soak up flavors. When ready to serve you will need to add more dressing as needed.

  2. Note: Olive Garden dressing packs a lot of zesty flavor as you know. It is now in my Walmart and Kroger. If you can’t find it, you may want to add a tablespoon of dry Italian Dressing Mix to your regular Italian Dressing.
