Pizza inspires this gluten-free pasta salad. Light and healthy this is perfect for a picnic, potluck, side dish or main course.

Vegetarian Pizza Pasta Salad

I have been thinking about making this ever since I made my Caprese Pasta Salad. My husband competes in triathlons pretty much once a month March through November. The point of telling you this is that he’s been asking for more pasta dishes to fuel him for his multi-hour long training sessions. I don’t cook or eat pasta often (personal preference) so creating recipes around pasta is new to me. I like Ancient Harvest because their products are gluten-free. I’m not 100% gluten-free but for the most part I try. In this recipe I used Ancient Harvest’s gluten-free rotini pasta but really any pasta you want to use will work. Whether it be whole-wheat, gluten-free, spaghetti or linguine. When it comes to the vegetables, the sky is the limit. Just think to yourself – what do you like on your vegetarian pizza? Whatever that is, dice it up and toss it in. To make this a vegan dish simply omit the mozzarella cheese. For you meat eaters, I suggest adding pepperoni.

The dressing for this pasta salad uses Flavor God’s Pizza & Italian Zest. I understand that some of you reading this might not have those seasonings so below are homemade pizza & Italian blends that you can use in its place. You probably have all of these ingredients already in your pantry.

1 tbsp oregano
2 1/2 tsps basil
2 tsp cayenne
