This easy garden Tortellini Salad with is the perfect BBQ side dish made with cheese tortellini, summer tomatoes, broccoli florets, and black olives.

broccoli florets (cut bit sized)

grape tomatoes (halved)

Delallo extra virgin olive oil

Delallo red wine vinegar

kosher salt (plus

garlic

parsley

broccoli floret

Garlic powder is ground, dehydrated garlic. It is a very common seasoning. Applications include pasta, pizza, and grilled chicken. Garlic salt is simply salt plus garlic powder. (Pre-made products usually include an anti-caking agent.) Garlic powder is a common component of spice mix. It is also a common component of seasoned salt.

Black Olive

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

When boiling, blanch the broccoli 15 to 30 seconds and remove with a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking.

Add the tortellini to the boiling water and cook according to package directions.

Drain and rinse under cold water then add to a large bowl with the remaining ingredients.

Mix well and refrigerate until chilled. Serve cold.

Delicious! My husband is on a sodium and animal-protein restricted diet plus had 6 teeth pulled a week ago and is still needing soft foods. This almost fit the bill so I cooked the broccoli longer than just blanching it and lessened the salt in the water. This turned out SO good. I let the broccoli go a little too long and it turned out almost like pesto after stirring it in. Happy accident! It made a large amount of food so I’ll cook a little more broccoli to add to the leftovers that is more than blanched but less than pesto. I plan to make that “mistake” again!

Delicious! I added chicken, celery and peppers!

We really loved this one. Second time we made it, we made a lemon vinaigrette and used that instead of the olive oil/balsamic. Very good!

delicious and refreshing. Such a great spring/summer lunch or side dish. Also the dressing is fantastic and I have taken to making the dressing on a regular basis for regular salads.

Delicious and easy to put together.  Great potluck dish!

Very yummy! I used the blackened shrimp recipe from the Blackened Shrimp and Grits, so we could toss in some protein, but I did not get 14 cups.

Delish, we loved it! Thinking of protein swaps for future and made a bottle of the dressing to use on salads.

This was very tasty. Followed everything exact including chill time, but I did cut servings down quite a bit and served with warm ham steak. Fun and tasty way to incorporate tortellini into something not including red sauce. Yum 😋  

confused? in the picture the dressing bring poured looks like more than oil and vinegar. there is a reference to ‘italian’  dressing? are there more ingredients than oil, vinegar , garlic, salt and pepper?
