I made this with whole grain blend rotini, lite mayo, fat free italien dressing and cubed smoked ham to significantly cut down on fat & calories and increase fiber. Better if it chills for several hours before serving.

I would think any cheese and any meat would work... chicken? should be great! wherever your imagination took you would be your only limits on this one!

What could you use instead of Pepperoni

LOVE IT!!! I used mozzarella cheese instead of provolone, & it turned out fine. A great salad for a picnic. I also added riped black olives to give another color. Hubby loves it:)
