Steps:
- 1. Cook tortellini to desired doneness according to package. Place broccoli in colander and drain the tortellini over the broccoli. Then rinse with cold water.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the tomatoes and the Parmesan cheese.
- 3. Cover and refrigerate 4-6 hours.( I have prepared this dish and served in within an hour). It can be served warm or cold.)
- 4. Just before serving, add cherry tomatoes, mix lightly. If using sliced tomatoes, just place on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh broccoli florets. If using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before adding it to the salad.
- To save time, use store-bought tortellini. However, if you have the time, homemade tortellini is always a delicious option.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good choice, but you could also try a creamy dressing or a tangy Asian-inspired dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it. This is when the flavors are at their best.
Conclusion:
Broccoli tortellini salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this broccoli tortellini salad a try.
