This Pizza Pasta Salad is perfect for summer picnics or a BBQ!
Cold pasta salads make such a good side dish. Plus this one is easy to make.
Feel free to change up the ingredients with your favorite pizza toppings.

I used turkey pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, mozzarella cheese and black olives tossed in a light Italian dressing.
There are a few things I did to lighten up this pasta salad. One was to use light Italian dressing. I used Olive Garden light Italian dressing which I found at Kroger.
Using turkey pepperoni instead of regular pepperoni helped to save points. I used the regular size pepperoni that I cut into four pieces, or you could buy mini pepperoni.
For the cheese I used low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese. I bought a block of it and used my food scale to weight 3 ounces of the cheese and cut it into small cubes.

Three ounces of cheese doesn’t sound like much, but once you weigh it out you’ll be surprised how much there is.
I also used my food scale to weigh 8 ounces of pasta.

When I think of pasta salad, I think of rotini pasta. Feel free to use whatever type of pasta you like.
How to make Pizza Pasta Salad:
Start by cooking the pasta. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente, according to the package directions.
Drain the pasta and let it cool off. Add the cooked pasta to a large bowl.
Add the turkey pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, mozzarella cheese, black olives and dressing to the bowl. Mix everything together.
It’s such an easy pasta salad recipe!
Some other topping ideas include mushrooms, banana peppers, red bell peppers, ham or bacon. If you change the toppings just make sure to double-check the points.
