Meal Prep | Italian Style Salad

(from someone who hates lettuce)

Recipe 3 of our Cooking on a Budget series.

Side note: I didn’t realize how much fat this recipe has until I calculated it for this post, and I am choosing to ignore that because it is just so tasty and I already meal prepped for the week. It is coming mostly from the pepperoni and dressing if that makes you feel any better.
