Provided by PineyCook
Number Of Ingredients 25
Steps:
- Creamy Salsa Dressing: Add all of the Creamy Salsa Dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and "chop" then puree until smooth, scraping sides down as needed. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency. Tortellini Salad: Add tortellini, corn, bell pepper, tomatoes, black beans and red onion to a large bowl. Toss to combine with enough Creamy Salsa Dressing to coat (about 2/3 of dressing) and reserve remaining dressing. Chill tossed salad (covered) and reserved dressing separately in the refrigerator for 2 hours (time permitting.). (Tortellini will soak up much of the dressing as it chills). When ready to serve, toss salad with avocado, bacon, sunflower seeds and cheese and desired amount of remaining dressing so its nice and creamy. Taste and add season with salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy! NOTES *I love the tortellini in the refrigerated section of Costco **May want to increase sugar if using Greek yogurt

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.
