How about Pasta salad, Its easy to make, goes around good, and its Yummy.

Here are the Basic Ingredients:

1-Pasta

Shaped, colored, tubular, flavoured, lots to choose from. I like to buy a bag of mixed as it adds a nice colourful look to the dish.

2-Vegetables

Anything goes here, whatever your tastebuds desire. The popular ones being...

Celery
Onions-any kind
Olives
Carrots
Broccoli
Tomatoes-small cherry
Cucumber
Peppers-green, red, yellow, orange, jalepeno

3-Other

Garlic
Parmesan cheese
Salt Pepper, Spices
Chicken
Seafood

4-Dressing

You can add your favorite bottled dressing or make one from scratch. Here are 2 basic ones:

Creamy

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. wine or cider vinegar
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tsp. basil
salt and pepper to taste

You can substitute yogurt for mayonnaise or mix mayo and yogurt together for your dressing base.

Lemon juice can be used in place of vinegar.

Oil/Vinegar

1/4 cup salad oil
3 tbsp. vinegar-balsamic,wine, cider etc.
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tsp basil and/or oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste

Boil your pasta noodles for about 10 minutes or until cooked. Drain and rinse in cold water, and let cool.

While noddles are cooling, chop up any vegatables you are adding, and make dressing.

Once cool, add all other ingredients you have chosen from the above list, adding the dressing last.

Cool in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving.
