Ingredients

Pizza Pasta Salad Ingredients:

  • 1 pound uncooked pasta (I used farfalle)
  • 8 ounces mozzarella diced
  • 1 cup diced roma tomatoes
  • 4-6 cups chopped pizza toppings (I used pepperoni black olives, and sliced red onions)
  • 1 batch Garlic-Oregano Vinaigrette (see below)
  • optional toppings: freshly-grated Parmesan cheese crushed red pepper flakes

Garlic-Oregano Vinaigrette:

  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and pressed (or minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper

Instructions

To Make The Pizza Pasta Salad:

  • Cook the pasta in a large stockpot of generously-salted water al dente according to package directions.  Drain pasta and rinse under cold water for about 20-30 seconds until no longer hot.  Drain completely.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, mozzarella, tomatoes, and pizza toppings.  Drizzle the vinaigrette on top, then toss to combine.  Garnish with your desired toppings.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
