Ingredients

  • 16 ounces (450g) cheese stuffed tortellini
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • ½ cup diced salami
  • 14 ounce can artichokes drained and chopped
  • ½ English cucumber diced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large pot with salted water, cook the tortellini according to the package instructions until fully cooked but not falling apart. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, and drain in a colander.
  • To a large bowl, add the cooled tortellini, cherry tomatoes, salami, artichokes, cucumber, onion, and garlic.
  • To the same bowl, add olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the salad to combine, and serve.

Notes

  • Fresh tortellini works best in this recipe, but you can also use dried or frozen pasta. Be sure not to overcook the pasta. 
  • Storebought Italian dressing can be used in place of the dressing ingredients here if you'd like a shortcut. 
  • Feel free to add other veggies or cheese to this salad.
