Ingredients
- 1 cup Italian dressing (or 1 cup Homemade Italian Dressing)
- 20 oz. cheese tortellini (bag refrigerated, 1 bag store-bought)
- 1 cucumber (sliced and quartered, seeded if desired)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 can black olives (6 oz. can, drained and halved)
- 1 roasted red pepper (chopped)

Garnish
- 2 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil (chopped)

Instructions
- If using homemade Italian dressing prepare the dressing and set aside in the fridge.
- Cook tortellini in salted water according to package directions. Rinse with cool water, drain and add to a large bowl. Pour half of the dressing over the warm pasta and toss to combine. Add the remaining salad ingredients to the bowl.
- Pour the remaining dressing over the salad and toss until evenly combined. You can serve the salad right away but it is best if chilled for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to develop and the tortellini to fully cool.
