Ingredients
- 18 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 cup Italian dressing homemade or store-bought, more as needed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ¾ cup diced salami
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- ½ green bell pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini in a large pot salted water al dente according to package directions.
- Once cooked, drain well and rinse under cold water to cool and stop from cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine cooled tortellini, tomatoes, salami, onion, bell pepper, Parmesan, and parsley. Add the dressing and toss well to mix.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. If desired, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- Optional additions:
- Any color bell pepper will work in this recipe. If the onion is really strong, soak it in cold water while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Do not overcook pasta. To save time, start the pasta and chop the other ingredients while the pasta is cooking.
- The pasta will soak up dressing as it chills, be sure to dress generously.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained
- 1/2 cup pitted olives
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
