I first had this salad at a small party that a friend was giving and I couldn't stop eating it! Its so simple and so cool and refreshing, especially with the summer coming.
Ingredients
- 4 16oz bags of Seviroli Cheese Tortellini (I like using the multi-colored kind)
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
- 1 brick of Mozzerella Cheese cubed
- 1 Large Green Pepper
- 1 Large Red Pepper (Not hot)
- 1 Medium Onion Chopped thick
- 16 oz of Wishbone House Italian Dressing
Directions
Boil the Cheese Tortellini ala dente'. (If they are done all the way they get mooshy when mixing) Rinse with cold water and let cool. In a large bowl, take dressing and put enough to cover the bowl. Add vegetables and cheese. Mix well. Add cooled Tortellini. Mix well. Put in refrigerator for 1 hour or more. Enjoy!
