Pepperoni Pasta Salad

My kids weren't fans of pasta salad until they tried this one. I like that it doesn't make a massive batch, this recipe serves 5 perfectly. It's colorful and tangy with just the right amount of "stuff" in it according to them. Test it out on your family and see if they agree.



2 cups uncooked tricolor spiral pasta
1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
1 cup coarsely chopped broccoli florets
1 tomato, cored & chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
28 pepperoni slices
1/2 cup zesty Italian salad dressing

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, cheese, broccoli, tomato, onions, ripe olives and pepperoni. Add salad dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

About 5 servings.
