Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheese Tortellini Salad with Artichokes and Pepperoni.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, gently add the cheese tortellini and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Keep an eye on them; they’re ready when they float to the surface and the filling is heated through, which should take about three minutes.
Step 4
While the tortellini is cooking, whip up a zesty dressing by whisking together oil, both vinegars, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
Step 5
Once the tortellini is cooked, drain it and give it a quick rinse under cold water to cool it down, then drain again to eliminate any excess moisture.
Step 6
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooled tortellini with chopped artichoke hearts, diced mozzarella, quartered pepperoni, sliced olives, and green onions.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Step 8
For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, allowing the ingredients to meld beautifully.
Step 9
Enjoy this delightful tortellini salad as a refreshing side or a satisfying main dish!.
