The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients, bringing a medley of flavors together. I always say, “If my mom could make magic with a can of tomatoes, imagine what you can do with fresh ingredients!” Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or salami
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini, sliced
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, cherry tomatoes, pepperoni, black olives, red onion, and pepperoncini.
- Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring every piece is coated.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve and enjoy!
