MARINATED PASTA SALAD

Description
Wonderful pasta salad full of fresh veggies and lots of flavor! This is the dish they ask me to bring when we go to family get-togethers.

Ingredients
1 lb box medium pasta shells (cooked firm)
1 tablespoon Lawry's seasoning salt
1 tablespoon Accent
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 chopped peppers (green, yellow or red, whatever you prefer)
1 small can diced black olives (drained)
1 jar diced pimentos (drained)
1 3/4 cup sour cream (more or less, to your taste)

Directions
Cook pasta until done but still firm. Drain and rinse with cold water until pasta is cold. Let it sit for a minute to completely drain. In large bowl, mix seasoning salt, accent, garlic, lemon juice and oil. Add past and mix well. Cover and refrigerate 4-5 hours, stirring from bottom each hour. (If you have tightly fitted lid for the bowl, just shake it up!)
Add the vegetables and sour cream, stir and serve cold. For leftovers, add cooked, cubed chicken breast for a great meal! Please note that the prep time listed below does not allow for the marinating time in the fridge.
