Add Step-by-Step Photos

Add some cooked cubed chicken to this for a main meal. It is a good summertime meal when you just don't want to cook.

Ingredients
  • 1 (9-14 oz.) pkg. frozen cheese tortellini (I always use frozen cheese tortellini)
  • 1/2 c. mayonnaise (I use low fat mayonnaise)
  • 1/4 c. milk (I use low fat or fat free milk)
  • 1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or you can use the shredded Parmesan in the bag found in the dairy case-don't use the one in the can though-it's way too dry and salty)
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste (optional)
  • 8 c. torn Romaine lettuce
  • 1/3 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 c. seasoned croutons
  • Halved grape or cherry tomatoes (optional-I use regular cut-up tomatoes when I don't have grape or cherry tomatoes-like in the salad in the picture)

Directions
  1. Cook tortellini according to package directions.
  2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, milk, 1/4 c. Parmesan, lemon juice, garlic and pepper.
  4. Place tortellini in a large salad bowl.
  5. Add the Romaine lettuce and 1/3 c. Parmesan.
  6. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing and toss to coat.
  7. Top with croutons and tomatoes, if desired. Yield: 10 servings.

Beautiful picture Lin!! I love these meal salads. They great any time of the year in my opinion, ESPECIALLY on *those* days. I have to go put away my Thanksgiving dinner groceries before they melt. Ah!
