Tortellini Caesar Salad
May 14, 2009
Friday nights are burger nights at our house during the spring, summer and fall and I like to try out new salads at the same time. I found this recipe on the Taste of Home website and decided to give it a try ~ adapting the original recipe to make it easier (always!). It’s a really delicious salad that would be great for your next summer get-together and I’ll be bringing it to a party Memorial Day weekend.
Tortellini Caesar Salad
1 pkg. dried tortellini
1 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
8 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 cup Caesar flavored croutons
halved cherry tomatoes
Parmesan cheese
Cook tortellini according to the package directions. Drain and run under cold water to cool, drain well again.
Put tortellini, romaine and cherry tomatoes into a large bowl and mix gently and store in the refrigerator. Just before serving mix in the salad dressing and croutons. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Makes 10 servings (at least).
Happy Cooking!

The tortellini Caesar salad was delicious! The pasta added a special interest.

I never thought of adding tortellini to my Caesar salad. But it seems like it would be a great change to the summer salad rotation. Will try it this weekend.
