Three Cheese Tortellini Salad

Three Cheese Tortellini Salad is made with a mix of cheese tortellini, artichokes hearts, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and sundried tomatoes, then tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and fresh cracked pepper.  A delicious and easy pasta salad you can make in 10 minutes!

Three Cheese Tortellini offer so much cheese flavor that you really don’t need to add a lot of ingredients in this salad.  Extra virgin olive oil is all you need.  No need to add any vinegar in it either, at least we didn’t need to. 

This pasta salad is very quick and easy to make, and can be served alone or as a side dish to any meat or seafood.

Pretty much it’s a pasta salad that goes with anything.

 

 

 

I love making this tortellini salad simply because I can make a quick dinner with this dish, especially on a busy weeknight. 

Three Cheese Tortellini Salad is very satisfying and perfect for meatless Mondays too!

It’s so versatile too!  You can serve it chilled or warm. But I like it best when it’s at room temperature.

 

 

When it comes to entertaining friends or family, we always make at least one pasta salad as one of the dishes to serve.  It’s the one dish that won’t disappoint, everyone in our family loves pasta! 

And, I love it because I can prepare this pasta salad the day before.  One thing less to do.

ENJOY!!

  1. Tortellini salads always remind me of summer because my mom used to make them with pesto. I definitely want to try this so I can at least feel like the weather is getting warmer. Love your mix-ins!
