TACO TORTELLINI SALAD

I'm not sure where I got this recipe from, but I have had it for over 30 years. I usually garnish the top of the salad with crushed tortilla chips. Serving size is approximate (depending on appetites) as a side dish. NOTE: Cooking time is time it takes to cook the tortellini.

CREAMY TORTELLINI SALAD WITH CHICKEN, BACON, AND RANCH DRESSING

When I moved to Oklahoma, I discovered a pizza called "chicken bacon ranch" and this pasta salad is a nod to the flavors in the pizza. If desired, marinate chicken in ranch dressing, and grill chicken to bump up the flavor.

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Run tortellini under cold water and drain. Store in the refrigerator until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  • Stir ranch dressing and milk together in a large bowl. Add chilled pasta, cooked chicken, mozzarella, bacon, green onions, and parsley.
  • Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
