• Drain off black-eyed peas, or if frozen submerse for a few minutes in boiling water until cooked through, with the aid of a strainer.
• Lightly cook carrots for a few minutes in boiling water using a strainer to submerse and remove from water.
• Lightly boil mushrooms the same way or cook them lightly in olive oil in a pan.
• Add pasta to water and cook approximately 7 minutes. I usually undercook the pasta slightly so the pasta doesn't get too mushy after absorbing liquid in the salad, or if you want to eat the pasta hot later.
• Mix together garlic, cilantro, green onions, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if you like. Onion and garlic powder and parsley are also great additions.
• Combine sauce with vegetables, black eyed peas and salmon flaked into small pieces and again taste and adjust seasoning.
• Remove pasta and strain.
• Mix pasta into vegetable mixture and give a final taste and adjust if needed.
• Sprinkle cheese if using on top and heat in oven or microwave if desired.
• This dish is also excellent cold, though I prefer it warm with some cheese melted on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Brush olive oil on the peppers, and place them cut side down on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil (with the edges turned up to avoid drips.) Roast until charred, them remove them to a resealable plastic bag or tightly covered pan to sweat and cool down.
• Make the vinaigrette just before use. Through the feed opening of a running blender, add vinegar and garlic. With the blender still running, pour olive oil in a slow thin stream. (Alternatively, you can prepare the vinaigrette by whisking the ingredients into a bowl in the same order, in which case, the garlic should be minced first.)
• Return to the bell peppers and peel off the blackened skin. Slice the flesh of the peppers brunoise (julienne, then crosswise) and place in a mixing bowl. Fold in the drained black-eyed peas, scallions, and parsley. Stir in enough of the vinaigrette to coat. Serve family style.
