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!

This is an all time very quick, healthy and versatile favourite in our family.
Chop up any kind of vegetables you like, to bite size, I use tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers (different colours). Our family loves Feta cheese added, cube it. Cook 1 package of fresh Tortellini in about 2 Litres of boiling water with a bit of salt for about two minutes (the dry kind works just as well, just needs longer to cook). Once the Tortellini are cooked, drain and put them in a bowl. Add veggies and cheese. Pour over it your favourite salad sauce and mix. The salad tastes great with the warm Tortellini, but if there's some left over, it's lovely to eat cold as well.
Enjoy!
