Classic Italian Pasta Salad

Classic Italian pasta salad combines tri-color rotini with pepperoni, mozzarella pearls, crisp vegetables, and a sharp homemade Italian vinaigrette. It takes 25 minutes to assemble and tastes significantly better after a 1-hour rest in the fridge, making it the ideal make-ahead side for BBQs and potlucks.
