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.
