MOROCCAN STYLE PASTA SALAD
Recipe I found on Moroccan Food on About.com. It states that you can add a variety of vegetables (your choice), so would I add carrots, celery along with the suggested bell pepper as my choices. Here is what is stated about the recipe: "This antipasto-style pasta salad gets a Moroccan twist with ingredients common in Morocco - cured meat, olives, Edam cheese, and veggies - and an easy cooked vinaigrette that takes just minutes to prepare. Use my suggestions below, or personalize the salad with up to 3 1/2 cups of your own additions such as marinated artichokes, pimientos, black olives, mushrooms, cooked baby carrots or cauliflower or broccoli florets. Allow chilling time before serving. The tri-colored pasta salad is intended as a side dish, but you may find yourself eating enough of it to make it your main course!"

Steps:
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and leave it to cool and drain completely in a colander.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the dressing. Place the vinaigrette's ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the dressing for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the partially crushed garlic cloves and set the dressing aside to cool.
- Transfer the cooled pasta to a large bowl and add the salami, cheese, olives, peppers and corn (or add your own ingredients - up to 3 1/2 cups). Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and stir gently to mix. Cover, and leave the pasta salad to marinate in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
- Stir the salad and check for seasoning, before serving.

MOROCCAN PASTA SALAD WITH CHICKEN
This is a simple Moroccan spiced pasta salad. Sometimes I use frozen peas & add them to the pasta while it is boiling.
