What a brilliant idea to make pasta salad with tortellini! This is a VERY easy recipe; the key is to find the right salad dressing...or make your own for more excitement! I think pasta salad always tastes better the more it marinates. So don't be afraid to make this the night before you plan to eat it!
1 pkg (9 oz) cheese-filled tortellini
1 cup cauliflower
1 cup broccoli
2 medium carrots
1 tsp hot pepper sauce (optional)
1 garlic clove
4 green onions
1/2 Cup Italian salad dressing
1/2 cup fresh parmesan cheese
Prepare tortellini according to directions. Drain and rinse pasta under cold water and place in a serving bowl.
Peel carrots and score down the sides with a zester, then cut into thin slices. Chop broccoli and cauliflower.
Slice green onion, add all vegetables to tortellini, and toss with salad dressing. Press garlic into bowl. Grate Parmesan over salad.
Toss lightly to combine.
