Pasta Salad with Tomatoes, Olives, Ham

I love onions, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, olives. If I can combine them all, I just will :)
I pull this from various recipes so I can't really reference anywhere. Let's just say this is my first creation 
I made a large quantity as it was for a dinner party.
Ingredients:
1. 750g fusilli pasta
2. 200g diced ham
3. Tomatoes, a huge bowl, cut into small pieces 
4. Sun dried tomato- 1 cup
5. 1/2 cup sliced olives
6. 1 large red onion, thinly slice
7. 6-7 cloves of minced garlic
8. 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
9. Salt and pepper to taste
1tablespoon of dried oregano
10. 1 cup olive oil or use oil from the sun dried tomato

1. In a large bowl, mix tomatoes, olives, oregano, onions together with olive oil and the red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper as well
Let it sit for around 30 minutes and keep tossing in between
2. Cooked pasta till al dente
3. Let it cool then mix together with the mixture in step 1. Add in ham and sun dried tomatoes. Keep tasting and adjust accordingly to suit.
4. Chill in fridge until ready to serve
