This is so so easy to make. You boil the tortellini for like 3 minutes and then place it in ice water to cool down while you get chopping away. I’m all about texture and yummy crisp veggies and this salad has just that. And if you couldn’t tell it pretty much has every color of the rainbow. Red, orange, and yellow bell peppers; green romaine lettuce and english cucumbers; black olives (instead of something blue); and red onions (because they’re really purple… why are they named that??). Take your pasta salad to the next level with this super easy, veggie filled Italian Tortellini Pasta Salad!

To bring it all together the veggies and pasta are tossed with some fresh grated parmesan cheese and Italian dressing. You can make your own or just use your favorite. I love Ken’s Steak House Lite Northern Italian Dressing. So good!Take your pasta salad to the next level with this super easy, veggie filled Italian Tortellini Pasta Salad!
