Spiced Pasta Salad

Ingredients
175g pasta
150g cucumber, diced
1 green capsicum, finely diced
50g raisins
4 Tbsp fresh chives, finely sliced


Dressing
6 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp cumin


Method
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until just tender.  Drain and rinse under cold running water to cool the pasta and halt the cooking process.  Transfer to a large bowl, add the prepared cucumber, capsicum, raisins and chives.  Place the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor, blend until frothy.  Pour over the salad and toss gently to combine.
