pizza pasta salad

spiral or fun pasta

dressing
6 table spoons oil
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup minced green onion
mini pepperoni slices so it looks good. about 1/2 cup

cook pasta and drain (if you like cold pasta salads add small amount of dressing to keep from sticking cool pasta before adding anything else to it)(if you like hot pasta salad add cheese directly to hot pasta before adding dressing)

while pasta is cooking
mix dressing (an Italian dressing crucible works great for this)

prepare other ingredients as need. sprinkle with dressing to keep from drying out
combine pasta, cheese, onion, tomatoes, pepperoni and rest of dressing mix again just before serving.
