Salad Dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 pinch kosher salt
2 pinches fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/4 mild red onion, sliced thinly
Salad
1 large head green leaf lettuce
1 cup chopped tomato
1/4 lb thinly sliced pepperoni
2 (4 ounce) cans sliced olives
1/2 lb queso ranchero or 1/2 lb feta
garlic salt
Pasta
1 (12 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 quarts water

1
Assemble the salad dressing an hour ahead, so the onion and salad dressing have time to blend but the onion is still crunchy.
2
Bring the water to a boil with the salt. Add the pasta and cook for 12 minutes. Drain immediately and cool completely.
3
Chop the romaine, tomatoes and pepperoni. Drain and add the olives. Crumble the cheese over the salad.
4
Toss the salad dressing and salad. The dressing will be clumpy. Add the dressing a little at a time, being careful to not add too much. Add garlic salt to taste.
5
(I usually spoon out the onions with a large non-slotted spoon. I use the dressing that comes along with the onions, leaving any excess dressing for another day.).
6
Fill the pasta shells.
