For the Pasta Salad
1 lb tri-colored rotini pasta (spiral)
1 cup salami, cut into very thin sticks (or saucisson)
1 cup edam cheese, cut into tiny cubes (or other variety)
1 bell pepper, finely chopped (or cut into thin sticks)
1/2 cup green olives, sliced
1/2 cup corn
For the Vinaigrette
2/3 cup vinegar
2/3 cup olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, partially crushed but not pressed
2 teaspoons dried za'atar spice mix (or oregano)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Stir the salad and check for seasoning, before serving.
