Tortellini Salad With Salami and Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 (13 ounce) bags cheese tortellini

• 1/2 lb genoa salami
• 1 green bell pepper
• 2 small bunch broccoli

• 1 (8 ounce) package cheddar cheese (I use orange cheese, makes the salad more colorful)
• 8 ounces Italian salad dressing
• garlic salt

Directions

1. 1

   Cook tortellinis for minimum cook time as directed on package.

2. 2

   Drain tortellinis and rinse with cold water.

3. 3

   Cut broccoli into bite size pieces. I discard most of the stems.

4. 4

   Put broccoli in saucepan, cover with a few inches of water, and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook!

5. 5

   Drain broccoli and rinse with cold water.

6. 6

   Cut green pepper into 1-2" pieces.

7. 7

   Cut cheese into small cubes.

8. 8

   Slice the salami into strips using a sharp knife.

9. 9

   Put everything into a large bowl, sprinkle with some garlic salt, and toss with about half of a 16 oz bottle of salad dressing. You can use more or less depending on your tastes, but half seems to work pretty well.

    Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
