TORTELLINI SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND PEAS
This is one of my standard pasta salads for potlucks or parties. It's vegetarian and so good! Don't skimp with the dressing because the tortellini soak up a lot of dressing. I estimated the dressing amounts, so you just need to taste for yourself.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the salami, carrots, peas and roasted red peppers to the bowl with the tortellini. Make the dressing: Whisk the olive oil, white wine vinegar, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Pour over the pasta salad and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for up to 3 hours. **For a creamy sauce, mix together 1/3 cup mayo, 3 tablespoons sour cream, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right tortellini: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh or refrigerated tortellini rather than dried tortellini. Fresh tortellini will cook more quickly and have a more tender texture.
- Don't overcook the tortellini: Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked tortellini will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Roast your own red peppers: Roasting your own red peppers will give them a smoky, slightly caramelized flavor that store-bought roasted red peppers can't match. To roast red peppers, simply slice them in half, toss them with olive oil and salt, and roast them in a 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables from your refrigerator. Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables that you like, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.
- Make it ahead of time: This tortellini pasta salad is perfect for a make-ahead meal. Simply prepare the salad according to the recipe and then refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, just bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
This tortellini pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables from your refrigerator. With its creamy dressing, tender tortellini, and roasted red peppers, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
