• 1 green pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
• 1 can (2-1/2 oz.) sliced black olives
• 3/4 cup (3 oz.) shredded Italian cheese or Parmesan cheese

Directions

Prepare the tortellini according to the package directions; drain, rinse, and drain again. Place in a large bowl and chill for a minimum of 4 hours. Add the remaining ingredients; toss until well coated; serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.

Note: I also add about 1 cup of small radishes and occasionally I'll also add 1 cup diced cucumber. This is a salad that most any vegetable can be added. Be sure to increase the amount of the salad dressing a little with each two cups of veggies added.
