7-minute lunch idea: Tortellini Salad
February 02, 2016
This tortellini salad has been a go-to since my older one was in elementary school (she's now a freshman in college). I have made it every week, shared this recipe so many times and it continues to be a hot favorite with everyone.
What I like about it is its versatility. There are endless way to dress up a tortellini salad -- this continues to be our favorite way for so many years. For this recipe, I use the five-cheese Seviroli tortellini that I purchase from Costco.
