Pepperoni Pizza Salad

By: Cathy Riebschlager 
"I like to serve this refreshing salad during the summer when my family craves pizza but I don't want to heat up the house by turning on the oven. It's so popular at potlucks that I always bring home an empty bowl. -Cathy Riebschlager, Hordville, Nebraska"

This was not at all what we thought it would be. I think the tomato "dressing" does it in.
