Pizza Pasta Salad Ingredients

Here’s what you will need to make this yummy pasta salad:

Feel free to add or subtract ingredients based on what you like.

Assemble the Pasta Salad

This pizza pasta salad is super simple to throw together. You can prep all the veggies and mix ins while the pasta is cooking.

Get your water boiling and add the pasta. Meanwhile, grab out a cutting board and get to work.

Dice the green pepper into small bite-size pieces. I like to leave them a little chunky so certain picky eaters can get around them easily.

Add the peppers to a bowl then slice all the grape tomatoes in half lengthwise and toss in with the peppers.

Slice the mozzarella balls into quarters and add to your prepped veggies. Dump in the grated parmesan, black olives and pepperoni.

Once the pasta has cooked, drain and rinse with cold water. Shake out as much water as you can then add to the bowl with the other ingredients.

Mix then drizzle in the Italian dressing. Toss well, put a lid on the bowl and refrigerate for a few hours.

Make Ahead for Best Results

For me, pasta salad is best when it’s had some time to marinate in the fridge before serving.

It gives all the ingredients time to mingle together and makes it even more flavorful. If you find the pasta a little dry after it’s been in the fridge for awhile, feel free to drizzle in some extra Italian dressing.
