I make this with turkey pepperoni and it is wonderful! My son loves it and it really does taste like pizza. YUMM!

We made this for a 4th of July picnic. We got nothing but compliments. We would make it again, in fact we made it the next day for another picnic.

Actually, for years, my husband has made a pasta salad almost identical to this one. I made this with the addition of sliced black olives and it's so delicious and light. Perfect for a summer meal---lunch or dinner!
