Ingredients

  • cheese tortellini
  • cherry tomatoes
  • mozzarella balls
  • nglish cucumber, halved and sliced
  • yellow bell pepper
  • pepperoni
  • banana pepper rings
  • red onion
  • black olives
  • talian parsley
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • talian salad dressing (store bought or homemade)
  • 1/3cupgrated Parmesan cheese

  • Directions

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Be sure not to overcook, as they’ll start to unfold. Drain well, cool to room temperature, and transfer to a large bowl.

    Combine tomatoes, mozzarella balls, cucumber, bell peppers, pepperoni, banana peppers, red onion, black olives, parsley, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl, and add to the tortellini.

    Drizzle Italian dressing over salad, lightly tossing all ingredients until well coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

    Stir again right before serving, garnish with grated Parmesan, and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container.

    Cook’s Note
