Thai Pasta Salad

It's Father's day and actually we are having NY Strip with Wasabe Chili Mustard Cream sauce. Many of us Dads love a good grilled steak now and again. But many prefer either vegetarian or fish or something international. Here is a worthy alternative to grilling all American beef - a fusion of flavors for a well balanced meal fitting for Father's day. See Thai Salmon Cakes to serve beside this flavorful salad. Happy Father's day.Dressing:
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp garam masala
2Tbsp canola oil

1/2 half each, of yellow, orange and red pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 Bermuda onion
1 large crown of broccoli, in bite sized pieces
1/4 wedge cabbage, finely shredded
3-4 cups cooked pasta (about 1/3 lb uncooked)
2 Tbsp peanuts, coarsely chopped

Marinate the veggies in the rice vinegar and soy sauce for at least 1/2 hour. Toss in the pasta and top with the peanuts.
