Easy Supreme Pizza Tortellini Salad Recipe

When it comes to pizza, we have a tendency to lean to the supreme flavor combo. For us that means, bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, sometimes salami, and plenty of cheese. Dishes in the MSSK recipe index we love are my Supreme Pizza Tortellini Bake, Stuffed Pizza Rolls and Supreme Pizza Dip perfect for casual entertaining. It’s a flavor combo that always fills hungry tummies making it a regular combination used in my kitchen.

How to Make the Best Supreme Pizza Tortellini Salad Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Supreme Pizza Tortellini Salad ~ Refrigerated tortellini, cherry tomatoes, fresh portabella mushrooms, sliced black olives, sliced pepperoni, red onion, green bell pepper, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, Italian parsley, shaved Parmesan for garnishing and bottled Italian dressing.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need ~ A pasta pot or large pot for cooking the tortellini, measuring cups and spoons, a cheese grater, large mixing bowl, sharp knife and cutting board and a large spoon for stirring it all together.
• Best Tortellini To Use ~  I use Buitoni as it’s readily available in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores. I’ve also made this using dry cheese tortellini and frozen cheese tortellini with great success.

• Make It In Advance ~ This is one of those salads that the flavors become even more robust the longer it sits. To give it a fresh look, toss additional chopped parsley in just before serving for a pop of color.
