Tortellini Salad

Recipe #297609 | 20 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef~V

This recipe is simple to put together and taste great. I've made it with all different kinds of tortellini, from spinach, mushroom or cheese. The Cooked tortellini is combined with cherry tomatoes, ripe olives, avocado, green onion & parmesan cheese, and tossed with oil & vinegar dressing. If you like cold pasta salads, you'll really enjoy this one.
