Easy Pepperoni Pasta Salad makes for a great school lunch or work lunch. Easy to make & tastes great!
My kids have gone back to school, so I’m back to making school lunches. Both of my kids schools are nut free due to kids with allergies so I’m having to be more creative with lunches. My oldest would seriously eat peanut butter and jelly everyday but since that’s not an option, I’m forced to come up with new ideas.
Don’t think I’m complaining though, the health of those with allergies is more important than my laziness with lunch! This pasta salad is one of the rest lunches I sent with my kids and it was a big hit. I even ate it for lunch! It makes quite a bit so I was able to get lunch for my 3 kids (my youngest doesn’t take a lunch yet) twice out of it.
