Tortellini & Bow Tie Pasta Salad image

This is the best tasting Italian Style Pasta salad I have ever eaten. I received this recipe from a caterer at our church Cyndy Totten, who gave me permission to post her recipes. Cooking time is cooling time in the refrigerator.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces cooked multi-colored cheese tortellini
2 cups dry bow tie pasta, which has been cooked
1 cup sliced black olives
1 cup chopped pepperoni or 1 cup salami
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
2 cups your favorite Italian dressing
2 tablespoons your favorite salad seasoning (I use Salad Supreme Seasoning)

Steps:

  • Drain the precooked Tortellini and Bow Tie Pasta in a large colander.
  • Rinse both pastas under cold water until completely cooled.
  • Drain completely and set aside.
  • In a large salad bowl, toss together the Salad Pastas and Vegetables.
  • Add the Dressing and Spices and toss everything well.
  • Refrigerate until time to serve.
  • This salad develops more flavor the longer it refrigerates so it can be made the night before if desired.
  • Lightly toss just prior to serving.
