Tortellini, salami, cheese, and veggies are tossed in Italian dressing for a hearty pasta salad. Serve it as a side dish or main dish all year long.
Ingredients for Tortellini Salad
Tortellini: Cheese or spinach tortellini is great in this recipe. Tricolor tortellini adds a pretty punch of color. Veggies: Vegetables including onions, red and green bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes add both color and lots of flavor. Bold Flavors: We love salami but you can use pastrami, prosciutto, ham, or pepperoni. Cheese: Since I use cheese-filled tortellini, I only add a sprinkle of parmesan for flavor. If using spinach tortellini, you can add chopped mozzarella. Dressing: Keep it quick with pre-made Italian dressing or make your own homemade Italian dressing.
Variations for Tortellini Salad
One of the best things about tortellini salad is the ingredients can be mixed and matched for whatever you have on hand!
Artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives great additions. Up the protein with leftover shredded chicken or even grilled shrimp.
