Pepperoni-Pasta Salad

  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 30 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Suddenly Salad® Caesar pasta salad mix
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed, drained
  • 1 package (3 1/4 oz) sliced pepperoni, cut in half (1 cup)
  • 1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped (3/4 cup)
  • 1 jar (2.5 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained

Steps

  • 1
    Empty Pasta mix into 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full of boiling water. Gently boil uncovered 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 2
    In large bowl, stir together Seasoning mix, oil and cold water; set aside.
  • 3
    Drain pasta; rinse with cool water. Shake to drain well. Stir pasta and remaining ingredients into seasoning mixture. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving.

  • Rinsing hot cooked pasta with cool water keeps the pasta from cooking further and losing texture and helps cool it for serving immediately.
  • If you buy a larger package of pepperoni, you’ll have plenty left to use with another pasta salad mix flavor!
