- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, sliced pepperoni, diced mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, diced green bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion. Toss gently to mix.
- Drizzle the Italian dressing over the salad and toss again until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste, folding gently to mix without bruising the vegetables.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
- Before serving, toss the salad again and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled.
