Italian Tortellini Pasta Salad

Italian Tortellini Pasta Salad

Homemade dressing is a key to a delicious tortellini salad. I combine an easy homemade Italian dressing with four cheese tortellini, salami, capicola ham, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, banana peppers, and fresh herbs.

After years and YEARS of making this tortellini salads, it is STILL our family favorite. It’s almost like taking an Italian Sub and turning it into a pasta salad. But not just any pasta salad, a four cheese tortellini pasta salad.

Making a pasta salad with cheese tortellini instead adds an incredible layer of flavor and texture. It takes you pasta salad game to a whole new level! Just make sure to use cheese tortellini flavor like “four cheese” or “three cheese” and not something like a spinach and mushroom. You don’t want competing flavors in your pasta salad.

Homemade Italian dressing is also a key because you can CHOOSE your ingredients, it adds the best flavor to the salad overall, and you most likely already have the ingredients in the pantry!
