Tortellini Salad

A nice hefty salad that makes for a great party dish. Fresh fruit works very well as a dessert afterwards as it complements the salty and savory flavors of the salad.


1 bag of cheese filled tortellini (ca, 250g)
ca, 1dl Italian dressing
2 bell peppers, cut into strips (one red and one yellow looks best)
8-10 cocktail tomatoes, cut in half
ca, 20 olives, mixed and seedless
2-3dl cheese, in small cubes
1/2-1dl fresh basil, finely chopped
ca, 12 salami slices


Cook the tortellini according to its own instructions.

Drain the pasta and mix it with the dressing while still warm in a bowl and set aside a let cool.

Prepare the vegetables and mix them into the cooled off pasta together with the cheese and basil.

Roll the salami slices into cones and push them into the salad so that they stick upwards like tasty flowers.

Serve with some nice bread to soak up the dressing afterwards.


Enjoy!
