5 Ingredient Tortellini Salad Food

TORTELLINI SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the tortellini according to package instructions, drain in a colander set in the sink, and rinse with cold water.
• Place the tortellini, pepperoni, green onions, olives, artichoke hearts, and mozzarella cheese in a large salad bowl.
• Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, white vinegar, Italian seasonings, and salt and pepper in a bowl, and pour over the salad ingredients. Gently stir to combine, and refrigerate to chill before serving. For even better flavor, let chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

TORTELLINI AND STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook as the label directs; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, olives, cucumber, artichokes and reserved marinade and the mozzarella in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss well.
• Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest, 5 minutes. Slice the steak.
• Add the scallions and cooked tortellini to the tomato mixture and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the steak.

CHEESE TORTELLINI SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook tortellini at a boil, stirring occasionally, until the pasta floats to the top and the filling is hot, 6 to 8 minutes; drain. Rinse tortellini with cold water until completely cooled; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Stir pepperoni, provolone cheese, artichoke hearts, black olives, Italian-style salad dressing, dry Italian dressing mix, and black pepper with the tortellini. Add more Italian dressing just before serving, if desired.
