Ingredients

  • 1 (9-oz.) pkg. refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 14 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 (10-oz.) pkg. prewashed fresh baby spinach (about 8 cups)
  • 3/4 cup purchased Italian salad dressing
  • 1 oz. (1/4 cup) shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 3
    Add cooked tortellini to vegetable mixture. Pour dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with cheese.

  • Meat-filled tortellini can be used in place of the cheese-filled variety. Red or green bell pepper can be used instead of the yellow. One cup coarsely chopped tomatoes can also be used if you don’t have cherry tomatoes.
  • Cook the pasta the night before and toss with a teaspoon of oil. Store in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
