Pasta Salad

This one is my all time favorite and loved by people who have tried it. It's a cold salad so very refreshing on a hot day...

Penne pasta - 200g
Onions -2 medium (julienned)
Tomato - 1 medium (julienned - remove seeds as much as possible)
Red/yellow/green capsicum - Mixed 1 cupful (cubed and blanched)
Corn - 1/4th cup (boiled)
Lettuce - few leaves (tear into bite size pieces)
Tomato ketchup - 3tbsp
Mayonnaise - 2 tbsp (or you can add as much as you want depending on the creaminess you want)
oregano - 1 tsp
salt to taste
pepper to taste
red chilli powder to taste

Heat 5 cups of water with 1 tsp salt and a few drops of oil. Add pasta and boil for 10 minutes or till cooked. Drain the water and dip the pasta in ice cold water. Drain this water out as well. Mix rest of the ingredients with the pasta and keep in the fridge to chill. Serve after half an hour or later when the pasta has absorbed the flavors.
