TORTELLINI SALADS
The most versatile of summer salads. As simple as a Caprese-style, or with a creamy Ranch-mayo dressing, or with salami and provolone for an Italian touch, or with the crunchy, garlicky flavors of a Caesar salad. Toss in some chopped summer vegetables and fresh herbs. Plain or multi-colored tortellini, filled with cheese or sausage or vegetables—the end product is only limited by imagination, or by what’s in the fridge. No recipes here—just some add-in ideas for great summer tortellini salads.
