Spinach Tortellini Salad
My sister-in-law Jessica makes the most amazing salads. At nearly every family gathering, she shows up with a different, but equally amazing salad.
I am constantly asking her for the recipes because making salads are surely not my forte! I used to think that salads were limited to lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch.
Talk about boring!
A New Go-To Recipe
But, this Spinach Tortellini Salad has become one of our new go-to recipes. I think I’ve made it 4 times in the last few weeks for Father’s Day, a Salad Social, and a few BBQs.
What’s the Big Deal?
- Well, this salad is easy, delicious, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. So how could I not take it to a gathering?
- You can prep the ingredients in advance and then mix it all together just before you need it. I’m all about early prep to avoid last minute stress!
- You can serve it as the main dish or as a yummy side dish to The Best Grilled Rosemary Ranch Chicken, or Easy Turkey and Cheese Roll-ups (freezer meal, oh yeah!)
What You Need:
- Your favorite frozen or refrigerated cheese tortellini, cooked
- baby spinach
- chopped tomatoes
- olives
- grated Parmesan cheese
- Brianna’s Caesar dressing or your favorite variety
The original recipe comes from NoBiggie, but I alter it slightly to make it simpler and include only things I know my family likes.
Mmm. I’m craving some right now. Enjoy this Spinach Tortellini Salad!
