This is one of my favorite salads. I like the addition of spinach and shrimp to this. Pasta salads are so filling that this could be eaten as a main dish for lunch in the warm months, we eat it as a side when we grill out. It is delicious. Ingredients:
2 (9 ounce) packages refrigerated cheese tortellini |
10 ounces fresh spinach, stems removed and torn |
3 green onions, sliced |
1 cup medium ripe olives |
1 small red bell pepper, chopped |
8 ounces frozen salad shrimp, thawed |
1/3 cup sour cream |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
1/3 cup caesar salad dressing |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Cook and drain tortellini as directed on pkg., rinse with cold water, drain.
2. Place spinach in boiling water.
3. Cover and cook 1 minute; drain.
4. Immediately rinse with cold water, drain.
5. Place tortellini, spinach, onions, olives, bell pepper and shrimp in large glass bowl; toss lightly.
6. Mix remaining ingredients, toss with tortellini mixture.
7. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors but no longer then 24 hours.
