I don’t know why I have never thought to make a tortellini salad before! I love tortellini, but have always thought of it as a hot dish not a cold salad. Well, I think that I am now hooked! I have tried a couple of different versions, and I loved both of them! This pasta is perfect for a salad with the cheese already in it. You can use the frozen or the dried, whichever you prefer, I have tried both and like them both about the same.
