Great reviews every time I make this. A nice change from the standard pasta salads. There are many renditions to this salad. There's really no way of messy it up. I like the miniature ravioli's (preferably fresh) but others have used tortellini's & rotini also. Give it a try. I think you'll love it. Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages ravioli, can substitute boxed but fresh is so much better (ravioletti) |
1/2 red pepper (chopped) |
4 ounces pine nuts (substitute slithered almonds) |
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (cut in small chunks or strips) |
8 ounces grilled chicken (cut in chunks or strips) |
1/4 cup craisins (optional) |
10 ounces poppy seed dressing (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Cook mini ravioletti to package directions. Throw in freezer for 10 minutes to chill. 2. In the mean time cut up veggies, cheese & chicken. (please no canned chicken). 3. Add cut up veggies, cheese, chicken & pine nuts to mini ravioli's. 4. Add Poppy Seed Dressing little by little to the desired amount. 5. If you like things real sweet add the craisins. 6. Toss, refrigerate & check again in 2 hours Add more dressing if needed. 7. Always better made a day in advance but 3 to 4 hours works too. |
