BROCCOLI TORTELLINI SALAD



Broccoli Tortellini Salad image

Prepared by Carol Huggard of The Villages, FL on 8/20/2013

Provided by ann wilson

Categories     Pasta Salads

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg 14 oz. cheese tortellini
1 c fresh or frozen broccoli florets
1/2 c chopped fresh parsley
1 jar(s) (6 oz.) marinated artichoke hearts, undrained
2 green onions, chopped
2 1/2 tsp chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 c italian salad dressing
5-6 cherry tomatoes, halved or 3 sliced tomatoes cut into 1/2 or 1/4
parmesan cheese, optional

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.
