Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups Grape tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.75 cup Black olives (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.75 cup Italian dressing
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool the pasta.
While the tortellini is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, halve the grape tomatoes, and finely dice the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled tortellini, chopped broccoli, grape tomatoes, red onion, and sliced black olives.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Pour the Italian dressing over the salad mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Toss the salad thoroughly to coat everything in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled and enjoy!
