A filling and delicious main dish salad. I have used turkey bacon and low-fat dressing to lighten it up. Chill time is 1-2 hours. Ingredients:
2 (19 ounce) bags frozen cheese tortellini |
4 cups broccoli florets |
2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half (or whole grape tomatoes) |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or 2 tablespoons green onions |
1 cup coleslaw dressing |
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled |
1/4 cup sunflower seeds |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Prepare the tortellini according to package directions; rinse with cold water; drain.
2. In a large bowl, mix the tortellini, broccoli, tomatoes, chives, and dressing.
3. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
4. Right before ready to serve, add bacon and sunflower seeds; gently stir to combine.
5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Serve cold.
