Ingredients
- 19 ounces Cheese Tortellini
- 8 ounces cherry tomatoes cut into quarters
- 1 green pepper chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese cubed
- 6 ounces pepperoni cut into quarters
Dressing
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the cheese tortellini using the directions on the package. Once the pasta is cooked rinse and cool.
- While the tortellini is cooking/cooling prepare the rest of the ingredients. Once the tortellini is cooled combine with all of the ingredients except for the ingredients for the dressing. Mix well.
- Prepare the dressing. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the vinegar and yellow mustard and whisk together with the dry ingredients. Whisk in the olive oil. Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk in.
- Pour about 1/2 of the dressing over the pasta salad and mix until the everything is coated. Save the other half and add just before serving. The pasta will absorb the dressing, so adding the other half of the dressing just before serving will help so that the salad is not too dry when serving.
