Chicken Pasta Salad With Shrimp And Pepperoni

"Full of simple and fresh ingredients, this chicken pasta salad with shrimp and pepperoni is the perfect side dish for your next cookout, an easy option for a light weeknight dinner, or a refreshing make-ahead lunch. You'll love the flavorful combination of onions, bell peppers, celery, peas, pecans, herbs, and a creamy mayo dressing. Serve the cold pasta salad with mixed greens, focaccia, garlic bread, breadsticks, or a crusty baguette! My mother-in-law's chicken pasta salad recipe gets a zesty, Italian spin with the addition of pepperoni! She always includes shrimp, plenty of veggies, and a flavorful mayo dressing, too. It's satisfying enough to serve as a dinner or lunch entrée, but it's also delicious alongside hamburgers, grilled fish, steak, or Italian sausage. Best of all, the easy dish can be prepared in advance for busy weeknights and stress-free entertaining."
