Creamy Conchiglie Pasta Salad image

Made by creating a dressing of sorts, this is the old Southern way of making pasta salad. Using celery, red and green bell peppers, onion, salad cubes (sweet pickles) with a blend of mayo, seasonings, and vinegar, the pasta melds into a wonderfully creamy, cold side dish that's perfect for cookouts and family gatherings, as well as Sunday dinners.
