This is a quick pasta salad that is kicked up a notch by using tortellini instead of regular pasta. It is great for a cook-out or potluck because it doesn’t include mayonnaise.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups bite-sized broccoli florets
- 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper
- ¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 6 ounces pepperoni sausage, cubed (Optional)
- ¼ cup Italian-style salad dressing (such as Newman's Own®) (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite and filling is warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes; drain.
Step 2
Stir cooked tortellini, tomatoes, broccoli, yellow bell pepper, Parmesan cheese, and pepperoni together in a bowl. Pour in 1 cup Italian dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. If salad looks dry, stir in an additional 1/4 cup Italian dressing before serving.
Cook’s Note:
I have tried several types of Italian dressing and have found that Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian(R) works best in this recipe.
