SIMPLE YET YUMMY TORTELLINI SALAD
I was making pasta salad for a picnic and noticed that I ran out of dressing. All I had was extra-virgin olive oil. So, that's all I used, with some salt. It was so much better this way. Everyone wanted the recipe and then couldn't believe that oil was the only thing on this salad. Please try it this way and if you don't agree, you can always add vinegar or something. But, I don't think you will.

CREAMY TORTELLINI SALAD WITH CHICKEN, BACON, AND RANCH DRESSING
When I moved to Oklahoma, I discovered a pizza called "chicken bacon ranch" and this pasta salad is a nod to the flavors in the pizza. If desired, marinate chicken in ranch dressing, and grill chicken to bump up the flavor.

CREAMY TORTELLINI SPRING SALAD
This came from the KraftFoods.com web site. I have not made it yet, but want to try it soon. The orginial recipe called for GOOD SEASONS Italian Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix but the reviews suggested Ranch Dressing so I will try it with that. I think this would also be good with some shredded pre-cooked chicken as a main dish.

- For a more flavorful salad, roast the tortellini in a pan with olive oil and herbs before adding it to the salad.

- Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped cucumber, bell pepper, or zucchini.
- If you're using fresh herbs, be sure to chop them finely before adding them to the salad.
- If you're making the salad ahead of time, store the dressing and tortellini separately and combine them just before serving.
