Here’s a delicious pasta salad that’s great for get-togethers, potlucks, or family dinners.

Ingredients:

1 to 1 1/2 packets of refrigerated cheese tortellini

1 small jar of artichoke hearts

1 can of pitted black olives

1 small red onion

1 container of Mediterranean feta cheese

1 large stick of dried pepperoni cut into chunks or any type of meat you want salami, ham, prosciutto, or a combination.

1/3 of a large yellow bell pepper cubed

1/3 of a large orange bell pepper cubed

1/3 of a large red bell pepper cubed

A handful of cherry tomatoes sliced in half

1/3 of  a cucumber cubed

Seasonings 

Sea salt ( only add if needed)

Garlic powder

Ground black pepper

Oregano, basil, parsley

Salad dressing ingredients:

Hidden Valley Ranch Salad dressing

1/3 cup of olive oil

Red Wine vinegar

2 teaspoons of minced garlic

***I put about a third of the packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning in a bowl, add the minced garlic, the olive oil, and vinegar. Blend together well.

Directions:

Put the bell peppers, red onion, artichoke hearts, black olives, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Season the veggies with garlic powder, pepper, oregano, basil, and parsley.

Add the pepperoni and the feta cheese and blend well.

I fold the cheese tortellini pasta into the mixture and pour the Hidden Valley dressing on the pasta salad and mix. It’s absolutely delicious!

Stay blessed,
