Ingredients

280 g (10oz) dried pasta shapes (I use shells)

1/2 medium cucumber, diced
2 sticks celery, finely diced
60 g (2oz) dill pickles, finely diced
115 g (1/2 cup) full fat mayonnaise ((swap with low fat mayo or half mayo and half Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing))

Instructions

Cook the pasta as per the pack instructions, then drain and run under cold water until cold. Drain until dry.

While the pasta is cooking place the remaining ingredients into a large bowl.

Add the cooked and cook pasta to the bowl and mix everything together until combined.

Serve right away, or cover and chill in the refrigerator (should keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days).
