Thanks to rich, cheese-filled tortellini, a sprinkling of veggies, and classic mustard-herb vinaigrette, this pasta salad is in a league of its own.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 of a 16-ounce package (about 2 cups) frozen cheese-filled tortellini or one 9-ounce package refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli flowerets
  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 medium red or yellow sweet pepper, cut into thin strips

  1. In a large saucepan cook pasta according to package directions, except omit any salt and oil. Add broccoli and carrot the last 3 minutes of cooking; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again.
  2. Meanwhile, for dressing, in a screw-top jar combine the vinegar, oil, Italian seasoning, mustard, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cover and shake well. Set aside.

What a beautiful salad. I made it for my lunches this week and can't wait to pull this one out at the office:) I did use prosciutto and chicken tortellini instead of cheese, which in my opinion made it more suitable for a substantial lunch. The dressing was a bit vinegary, but nothing that won't stop me from eating it. Thanks!


I thought this was very good. I did add a bit of salt to it. My four year old loved it, well except for the broccoli(which he thinks is lettuce!). Very refreshing salad.Thanks!
