Cold Vegetable Pasta Salad

Pasta (Usually a tricolor rotini)
Carrots
Celery
Cucumber
Cauliflower
Red or Yellow Pepper
(Any other Veggies that strike your fancy)
Salami
Mozzarella (I usually omit)
Italian Dressing
Garlic Powder

Cook the pasta according to the directions. Do not over cook. Drain and toss with a little bit of the dressing and chill. Chop all the vegetables into bite size pieces, add to chilled pasta and toss. Add bite size salami (and cheese) and toss. Sprinkle with garlic powder and coat with Italian dressing (or vinegrette of your choice). Pour enough that there is dressing standing at the bottom of the bowl, the pasta and veggies will absorb the extra. Chill. It will be even better the next day.
