Pasta and Fish Salad

When we were in England we spent a few days with David's cousin Marie and her husband Mick. Apart from having a wonderful time with them, we got to eat wonderful fresh veges from out of their garden. Marie says that nearly all of the vegetables they eat are out of their garden. How wonderful to taste purely organic vegetables again. The tomatoes were so sweet and nothing like the tasteless ones bought from the supermarkets.
Marie likes to make up really easy, simple dishes that have lots of flavour and great to eat. This recipe was one that she seemed to just throw a bit of this and a bit of that into it and it came out tasting wonderful. I have tried to remember exactly what went into it, so forgive me Marie if I have left anything out.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pkt vegeroni large spiral noodles (the ones with the 3 different colours)
1 medium size tin tuna ( I have also substituted this for large sardines that have been boned)
some cooked makerel fillets from the deli dept ( I used tinned ones)
1/2 red onion - diced
1/2 yellow capsicum (can substitute green) chopped
1/2 red capsicum - chopped
2 heaped tablespoons good mayonnaise ( I used Miracle Whip)
Can add some little red grape tomatoes if desired
cracked black pepper and sea salt to taste

METHOD:

Cook pasta as per directions on packet. Do not overcook as you want them al dente.
Remove and place in large colander. Rinse some cold water through them and drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and stir through until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper and place in refrigerator until needed.
Serve with some nice crusty italian style bread. This makes a great lunch or an entree for dinner.
