Awesome recipe! I only did about 3 oz of pepperoni - the pizza kind- cut in quarters. I added green pepper and red onion per the other review and what I ended up with was a salad that got rave reviews! All the flavors together are amazing! Great recipe and I loved the blanching of the broccoli!

Excellent. I left out the broccoli but added in some chopped onion and green pepper. Will make again. Thanks for the recipe!
