ARTICHOKE-PEPPERONI TOSSED SALAD

Artichoke-Pepperoni Tossed Salad image

Angie Smith of Clarksville, Tennessee modeled this colorful and festive salad after one she and husband Bob first tasted in an Italian restaurant. "It's so fast, fresh and goes with almost any pasta meal I make," she says. "It takes only minutes to prepare, and you can vary the recipe by substituting different cheeses or Italian ham. "
