Answer 5

For the dressing I use a bottled Italian dressing (usually something with some spice in it). I take sliced pepperoni and cut it in half, julienne some peppers (use green or yellow, they make it look prettier), some small cherry tomatoes, some mozzarella balls (small, you can get them in the cheese section), a little julienned red onion, halved, pitted black or green olives and some parmesan cheese.
