Instructions

Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool, then transfer to a large serving bowl.
Add the vegetables and cheese to the bowl with the pasta: broccoli, tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, black olives, feta cheese, and parsley.
Top with the pepperoni.
To prepare the Italian dressing, slice the tomato in half. Rub the inside edges (non-peel side) against a coarse grater over a small bowl. Grate all of the tomato's interior (juices and flesh) into the bowl, then remove the peel. Whisk in the remaining dressing ingredients until smooth. Pour dressing over the pasta bowl.
Toss the pasta salad gently to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
