Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, salami, black olives, red onion, basil, and parsley.
- Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Give it a quick toss before serving.
Notes
- Rinse the tortellini under cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and cool them down for the salad.
- Use fresh cherry tomatoes, basil, and parsley for best results.
- You can substitute diced ham or pepperoni for the salami.
- Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- If the salad seems dry after refrigeration, add a bit more Italian dressing and toss well.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
