    spinach-tortellini-caesar-salad this awesome idea!

    Spinach Tortellini Salad

    Amazing cold tortellini pasta salad is perfect for any gathering or quick family dinner.

    I used to think salads were boring...until I tried this pasta salad and the teriyaki bowtie pasta salad.

    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.

    Why You'll Love This Salad:

    • 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.

    Ingredients:

    Here's what you need for cold tortellini salad- the best potluck salad.

    • Your favorite frozen or refrigerated cheese tortellini, cooked
    • baby spinach
    • chopped tomatoes
    • olives
    • grated Parmesan cheese
    • Brianna's Caesar dressing or your favorite Caesar dressing

    How To Make Tortellini Salad

    Making this award-winning tortellini salad is so easy.

    First, boil the cheese tortellini according the package directions. Usually, the tortellini will be fully cooked in 3-5 minutes. Let pasta cool for about 10 minutes or longer.

    Once the noodles are cool to the touch, stir in Caesar dressing until all the noodles are coated. If you are making this summer salad in advance, keep them refrigerated until you are ready to assemble.

    Carefully stir in tomatoes, spinach, and chopped olives. Add more dressing until your desired consistency.

    Place the best pasta salad back into the refrigerator and chill until you are ready to serve.

    What If I don't have time to chill the salad?

    The salad will still be delicious, but the longer the cheese pasta salad can chill the better it will be.

    We have still enjoyed eating it right after making it--it just tastes better cold!
