Description

This is a great summer side dish that has become a staple in our house! You can use a variety of fresh veggies of your choice!

Ingredients

  • 1 package Good Season Italian Dressing Mix
  • 10 ounces, weight Frozen Cheese Tortellini, Prepared Al Dente
  • ¼ cups Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • ½ cups Oil (I Use Canola)
  • 1 cup Cherry Or Grape Tomatoes, Halved
  • 1 cup Fresh Broccoli Florets
  • ¾ cups Carrots, Sliced Into Coins
  • 1 whole (small) Red Onion, Sliced Into 1/2" Pieces

Preparation

Prepare tortellini to al dente. Rinse with cold water.
In a container with a sealed lid, place dressing mix, oil, water, and vinegar and shake to mix.

Toss tortellini, veggies and dressing together, adding dressing a little bit at a time. You want everything well coated with a little dressing in the bottom, but you don’t want to drown it! You may have a little dressing leftover to save for later, or use to marinate some chicken! Refrigerate until well chilled.

Before serving, add in some fresh grated parmesan if you have it.

Other veggies to try: cucumber, black olives, zucchini…whatever suits you!

Made this today, don’t think it will last long at my house. Taste great, might add something next time to make the dressing a little sweeter. Overall easy, tasty, and quick to make!
