Tortellini salad is one of those delightful dishes that brings a taste of Italy right to your kitchen. It’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you want something quick, yet satisfying. I remember the first time I made this salad; it was a warm summer evening, and I was looking for a dish that was both refreshing and hearty. The chewy tortellini, juicy tomatoes, and savory salami make this salad a family favorite. Plus, it’s a great way to use up any leftover ingredients you might have in the fridge.
This Italian tortellini salad pairs wonderfully with a light, crisp white wine or a sparkling water with a splash of lemon. For a complete meal, serve it alongside a simple green salad with a balsamic vinaigrette or some crusty garlic bread. If you’re hosting a gathering, this salad can be a great addition to a charcuterie board filled with olives, roasted red peppers, and marinated artichokes.
