 Easy Italian Pasta Salad 

I love grabbing some extra Freschetta pizzas from the freezer section at my local Walmart, just to make sure I always have some for busy nights or for pizza Fridays! With so many great flavors and toppings, there is always a favorite for everyone in the family! Along with all of my other ingredients needed to create an easy Italian pasta salad to go with it.

My family absolutely loves pizza and Freschetta has everything my family loves with quality ingredients. Personally, I love pizza that uses 100% real provolone and mozzarella cheese just like Freschetta does and because they carry anything from just cheese pizza to the Canadian style bacon and pineapple, you will can’t go wrong!

To create the perfect dinner all you really need is to add a side item, like my easy Italian pasta salad! It’s refreshing and super easy to make.

Ingredients for pasta salad:

• Your choice of pasta
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of red white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard
• Colby cheese cut into cubes
• Mini pepperonis 
• Black olives sliced in half
• Roma tomatoes sliced in half

I first like to make my Italian dressing so that the flavors have time to marinate.

In a medium size, bowl combine your oil, vinegar, salt, oregano, black pepper, thyme, garlic powder, and dijon mustard. Set aside and allow flavors to marinate.

Now cook your pasta according to the instructions on the box. Drain and let it sit out until cooled.

Go ahead and slice your cheese, black olives, and tomatoes. 

Once you are ready to serve to add pasta into a large bowl with homemade dressing. Toss around until all of the pasta is mixed with the dressing.

Lastly add your cheese, pepperonis, black olives, and tomatoes. Carefully mix everything together and serve.
