Pizza Pasta Salad

Pizza Pasta Salad: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

I have made this salad several times and it is always a hit when I make it. One time I made it with hard salami and another time I made it with pepperoni. My family prefers the version with pepperoni better, so that is what I have listed below.

Pizza Pasta Salad
