This one is a total crowd magnet. A pasta salad that tastes exactly like a good all-dressed pepperoni pizza, with crispy pepperoni, melty cheese and a creamy dressing built on real pizza sauce. The kind of bowl that disappears in ten minutes on a table and will get you seriously hooked. Everyone always goes back for seconds, guaranteed.<\/p>\n
The trick that changes everything is cooking the pepperoni in a dry pan until it gets crispy, almost like little charcuterie chips. Let it cool, then add it at the very end so it keeps its crunch. Combined with the creamy pizza dressing (Greek yogurt, mayo, pizza sauce, a touch of honey and oregano), it gives you exactly the taste of your favourite slice, cold and satisfying.<\/p>\n
This isn’t just a summer thing. This salad is just as good in a lunch box in January as it is on a BBQ table in July. It travels well, can be made ahead, and always makes a statement at a potluck or a party. Kids love it, adults love it, and it feeds a big crowd without any fuss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
