Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups uncooked cheese tortellini , cooked as directed and cooled completely (i prefer butoni three cheese tortellini)
1 cup or more of your favorite ceasar dressing
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cool the pasta completely after cooking, then pour over dressing and chopped peppers; mix all together.
Sprinkle top generously with parmesan cheese and cover bowl - refrigerate.
Just before serving, stir in the parmesan - serve over a bed of lettuce, if desired, or serve as is.
You can mix up the veggies any way you want for this, and you can try other cheeses, though I love parmesan with the ceasar dressing.
Try other dressing, too:
Greek version - to the cooked tortellini, add
1 cup Greek dressing
1 de-seeded cucumber
3/4 cup diced, kalamata olives
1/2 red onion, diced
20 halved cherub tomatoes
1 cup crumbled feta
Italian version - to the cooked tortellini, add
1 cup Italian dressing
1 cup sliced pepperoni or genoa salami chunks
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh pecorino romano cheese, and some
1/2 sweet onion, diced
American version - to cooked tortellini, add
1 cup Ranch dressing
1 cup blue cheese crembles
1/2 onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
Try whatever sounds good to you!! I want to try a caprese version with balsamic dressing and fresh basil and tomato chunks and mozzarella and some onion and garlic. There's so many options to make so many different tastes - all of them easy!!
