Pepperoni Pasta Salad
I’d like to thank Sugardale for sponsoring this post.
As much as I adore pasta salad for cookouts and carry-ins, I’m also a huge fan of making this amazing pepperoni pasta salad as a flavorful side dish on regular weeknights.
This pepperoni pasta salad is so easy to make, but it’s anything but boring. I mean, just look at all of that delicious color!
Pepperoni Pasta Salad Recipe
I make this pepperoni pasta salad because my whole family loves it, but I also have a selfish reason. I also love this recipe because of the leftovers that I’ll be able to enjoy as quick lunches throughout the week.
Since I work at home, it’s always great to have something yummy in the refrigerator to grab when I have a moment between projects and client calls.
My favorite thing about this tri-color pasta salad recipe is the addition of scrumptious, Sugardale Pepperoni.
It’s absolutely crucial to the flavor and texture of this pasta salad that you use quality pepperoni and Sugardale is the best—period.
No, really. Sugardale Pepperoni absolutely MAKES this pasta salad recipe. It gives the dish an incredible flavor and I have always been a fan of Sugardale’s pepperoni because they are nice and thinly sliced.
Sugardale products are made in the USA, which I love, and Sugardale Foods is a family-owned company.
This probably sounds kind of crazy, but the texture of this brand of pepperoni is just… BETTER. Each pepperoni is like a little miniature slice of meat that you might order from the deli. In other words, yes, the pepperoni you choose for your recipes can really affect your results in a big way!
This pepperoni pasta salad is just as beautiful as it is delicious.
Juicy, plump tomatoes and crispy sweet peppers add bursts of flavor with every bite.
We also make this pepperoni pasta salad with black olives sometimes.
One of the wonderful things about this recipe is that it’s so very versatile. You can add any fresh vegetables that you like!
As I mentioned, I enjoy making this pepperoni pasta salad for my family, but it’s also a fantastic go-to recipe for summertime cookouts. I usually whip it up a few hours before heading out so it has a bit of time to chill in the refrigerator.
You could certainly make it the night before, but with any kind of pasta salad the dressing tends to disappear in the pasta the longer it sits. It’s definitely still good the next day (as I mentioned, I love having leftovers for lunch), but if you’re taking it to an event I recommend making it just a few hours ahead.
I hope you love this super-yummy pepperoni pasta salad as much as my family does!

Pepperoni Pasta Salad Recipe
This delicious and flavorful pasta salad is a wonderfully colorful side dish!
Ingredients
- 1 12oz. box tricolor rotini
- 1 yellow pepper, diced
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese (I prefer off the block)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 4 ounces Sugardale Pepperoni (or roughly half an 8 oz. package)
the dressing
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or honey (important to balance the vinegar, I use sugar)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box to al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse with cool water. Remove as much of the water as possible then transfer to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, grated parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, basil, oregano, lemon juice, sugar, salt and the pepper.
- Pour the wet mixture onto the pasta and stir with a wooden spoon until all the pasta is coated.
- Gently fold in the yellow pepper, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes and the pepperoni until coated. Refrigerate before serving.
Happy 4th of July 2021. I got all the ingredients done yesterday (pasta cooked, veggies chopped and all). Keep everything in separate containers and this morning I assembled everything for the cookout. Only thing I’m not liking is the dressing – it has too much of a vinegar taste, so I did an extra tablespoon of sugar. Other than that, it’s good.

I am so Happy to find this recipe. I saw the photo of this at the Sugerdale display and thought it was so yummy looking. Never having pepperoni on anything but pizza I wanted to make this! Unfortunatley the Sugerdale website did not have this recipe. I was so bummed. Then I stumbled on this with searches. Eureka! I made this and my family and MYSELF loved it. I did change it up a bit. I used 3 colors of peppers and added some green onion but evertything else was the same. Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe!
Hi June, could you tell me exactly where you saw this recipe/picture? I’d be interested to know if Sugardale is using my photo in a store display…

My favorite pasta salad recipe is one that I make all the time in the Spring and Summer months! I use any base pasta, green olives, black olives, celery, and my favorite bottled caesar salad dressing. I combine these, chill, and salt to taste! Everyone loves this as a side dish for our BBQ’s. Adding a hand full of mini pepperoni is such a great twist that I will definitely be trying and adding to my own recipe! My kiddo’s are sure to love this addition!

I love pasta salad…and my favorite one is soooo very similar to yours here! I also use rotini and tomatoes and pepperoni. Have never tried peppers in it. I usually put in chunks of mozzarella instead of grated. And I always put in olives, since I’m a huge fan of them. And of course the pepperoni is a must! I’ve never tried using the slices of pepperoni…I usually cut up chunks. Will definitely need to try the slices! And your recipe for the dressing looks great…and so easy! I usually just put in whatever Italian dressing in a bottle I have onhand, but I think yours would taste much better & fresher!
I’m not a huge pasta salad fan, of the salads I prefer it without the noodles. Like egg salad or a house salad.

I like bacon ranch pasta salad.
The pepperoni salad looks so good. I think the kids would like it too.

I can’t find the giveaway so I guess it is just to leave a comment maybe. The pasta looks great. I wanted to make sure blog owners are aware of what stupid thing Twitter is now up to. Because I enter dozens & dozens of these blog giveaways, they have decided my account is a “bot”. They have locked me out of my account 3 times in the last 2 weeks!! They are saying every time I use one of these apps to authorize an entry I am breaking their tos!! Even when I just cleck on one I know I am already following! I know it is bulls##t!! So sadly, I really cannot follow anyone new at all by using the apps/entry form. I can’t retweet using the apps on the entries. It is driving me crazy! I did one entire week of ONLY using the entry apps in order to just rt and nothing else for a whole week and still that week the same locked out again.
Once locked out it takes days to get it going again. It is so frustrating. I hate twitter. So now every giveaway I enter I just have to ignore all the twitter entries! Which means I am never going to win anything again. Thanks for letting me vent this. I’m sure it will be happening to others soon enough. It didn’t matter if I only use one type of form like the gleam ones only either.

I don’t really have a favorite pasta salad. I just love to eat it lol.
My mom’s simple macaroni salad. Elbow noodles, mayo and slaw dressing-add to taste. Salt & peper to taste & a small can of peas. Add chunks of cheese if desire. My mom made this frequently every summer and we would have it for lunch with hot dogs or even with our dinner. Mom’s gone now but this bring backs such great memories.

I like pasta salad with corkscrew noodles, tuna, mayo, black olives, and little bites of apple.
I always thought pasta salad was sort of bland, so putting pepperoni in it sounds like a great idea!
We love macaroni salad made with pickles, eggs, mayo and green peppers.
Your pasta recipe..sounds great..I’ll have to make this summer because DH loves pepperoni!
My favorite is my moms pasta tuna salad..so creamy and delicious.
My favorite pasta salad recipe uses Quinoa Pasta, preferably the Rotini, with plenty of vegetables and a selection of crumbled cheeses on the side for optional toppings.

My favorite pasta salad is a summer favorite because it’s served very cold. It mixes the pasta with chopped apple, grapes, bits of pineapple, carrot, celery , bell pepper, and very thinly sliced red onion. I add some shredded mild cheddar, and chopped spinach leaves in a very light mayonnaise dressing, though you can use your preferred dressing. Top it with sunflower seeds or plain croutons for crunch. I sometimes add some chopped ham, but honestly, it’s filling enough without it.
This recipe will be my go to! it looks so delicious and will make for summer gatherings.
I like a simple macaroni salad with shredded cheese and eggs.

I grew up with an Italian family, so our recipes are very much by feel and what we’re in the mood for that night. But, we do similarly to this per person:
A cup of pasta
“About 65 grams” of meat — my favourite is either andouille sausage or Hungarian kolbasz, but any meat works — including fish!
“About 3 handfuls” of chopped vegetables — cooked if desired. I usually go with bell pepper, some avocado, tomatoes, and celery.
Then, we sprinkle it with high quality balsamic vinegar, whatever seasonings we’re feeling (usually dill), and maybe a bit of olive oil.
Needless to say, we have a lot of pre-cooked pasta in this house so we can build and go as our tastes change. ;)
I love pasta salads and have honestly never had one with pepperoni in it! Looks like a great recipe I’m going to make it for the whole family to try!

I don’t have a favorite pasta salad recipe because they usually contain mayo dressing. I have just never cared for mayo at all. I like the looks of this Pepperoni Pasta Salad though, no mayo!
LOOOVE pasta salads. One of my favorite summer dishes! We don’t do the black olives though we sprinkle oregano in! Crisp and fresh
