This was adapted from a recipe in Better Homes and Gardens.We call this the Family Salad in our house. We each have a favourite ingredient that we put in. So easy to make and lasts for a few days in the fridge. Try different types of cheeses in place of the cheddar. Havarti with jalapeno works very well. Be sure to use the prepared oil & vinegar dressing. Ingredients:
1/3 cup oil & vinegar salad dressing (store bought) |
3 tablespoons basil pesto (classico works well) |
1 (350 g) package cheese tortellini (oliveiri tri-colour) |
4 ounces cheddar cheese, cubed |
1/2 cup stuffed green olive |
12 pickled pepperoncini peppers |
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions.
2. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to cool.
3. Combine oil & vinegar dressing and pesto in a small jar with tight fitting lid.
4. Shake well to combine. Set aside.
5. Combine tortellini, cheese, olives, peppers and tomatoes (if using) in a large glass bowl.
6. Stir to combine.
7. Shake dressing & pesto to combine. Pour over pasta salad.
8. Mix well.
9. Cover and refridgerate at least 1 hour.
