TORTELLINI SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND PEAS



Tortellini Salad with Tomatoes and Peas image

This is one of my standard pasta salads for potlucks or parties. It's vegetarian and so good! Don't skimp with the dressing because the tortellini soak up a lot of dressing. I estimated the dressing amounts, so you just need to taste for yourself.

TEXAS TORTELLINI SALAD



Texas Tortellini Salad image

This is my favorite pasta salad. I love bringing it to cookouts and potlucks, because it isn't the same old salad and everyone loves it and it disappears. Try it with regular pasta, as well! If I don't have white vinegar, I use cider vinegar and it is fine. The original recipe used white wine vinegar, but I rarely have that in the house, so I changed the recipe to suit my pantry. If you have white wine vinegar, feel free to try it with that. I hope you love it as much as I do and bring it to your summer celebrations!

SIMPLE YET YUMMY TORTELLINI SALAD



Simple Yet Yummy Tortellini Salad image

I was making pasta salad for a picnic and noticed that I ran out of dressing. All I had was extra-virgin olive oil. So, that's all I used, with some salt. It was so much better this way. Everyone wanted the recipe and then couldn't believe that oil was the only thing on this salad. Please try it this way and if you don't agree, you can always add vinegar or something. But, I don't think you will.
