Recipe View Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, toss again and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. (120 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, substitute the pepperoni with marinated artichoke hearts or sun-dried tomatoes.
Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables! Bell peppers, cucumbers, or black olives would be delicious additions.
If you don't have Italian seasoning mix, you can create your own blend using dried oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder.
To prevent the pasta from sticking together, toss it with a tablespoon of olive oil after draining.
For a creamier salad, add a dollop of mayonnaise or sour cream.
