Antipasto Tortellini Salad
Antipasto Tortellini Salad – Day 5 or 5 days of Pasta. As I was flipping through Emeril’s Potluck cookbook I came across an antipasto salad, his salad is quite different than what you see here today but that was the initial inspiration.
I had thought that I wanted to use a little stuffed pasta in the salad as I have not made one like that before. My new favorite summer salad has emerged!! So full of flavor and miles away from your average pasta salad.
We all love tortellini and we are big fans of a good antipasto platter, so bringing those two loves together has created this wonderful salad. I have also used an Epicure dip mix again.
These add such wonderful flavor to so many dishes. Click here to explore the world of Epicure. Enjoy!!
