Equipment

  • large pot
  • colander
  • large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 20 ounces tortellini
  • 14 ounces marinated artichoke hearts quartered
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese balls halved
  • 4 ounces salami ¼ inch slices
  • 1 cup baby tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup bell pepper red and green, ½ inch dice
  • 1 cup English cucumber ⅛ inch thick slices
  • ½ cup red onion ½ inch dice
  • ½ cup sliced black olives or kalamata
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon sliced basil
  • 1 cup Italian dressing

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add the pasta and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes, or according to manufacturers directions.
  • Drain into a colander and rinse with cold water until cool, about 1 minute. Shake to drain excess water, then add tortellini to a large bowl.
  • To the bowl with the tortellini, add the artichoke hearts, mozzarella cheese, salami, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, red onion, black olives, parsley, and basil.
  • Drizzle ½ cup of the dressing over the salad, then toss to combine. Add more as desired, or serve on the side.
  • Garnish with more herbs if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.

Notes

Make ahead by assembling the salad 1 day in advance, and wait to toss with the dressing until serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days and add more dressing to enhance the taste.
