One of my favorite salads for summer... For the dressing, mix 1/2 a jar of tomato alfredo sauce with about 1/4-cup chicken or veggie stock and a good splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and season with minced garlic and salt/pepper. For the salad, use fresh cheese tortellini, chopped black olives, chopped tomato, diced red pepper and chopped red onion. Top with the dressing, freshly grated parm and either cilantro or basil. So good! You can serve it warm or cooled; I always finish it with a bit more olive oil and balsamic vinegar at the last minute. This is one I always take to potlucks or picnics...

    That sounds really good, except none of us like black olives. Do you think it would work if I switched them out for green ones?

    It just might! Im thinking it will. Try it and see! You could always leave the olives out to if you still dont like it! Enjoy!

    Yeah, it's a pretty flexible recipe, for sure... I think if I switched olives, I'd just watch the amount of actual salt, and would probably use regular parsley instead of a stronger herb. The red pepper could also be roasted (or out of a jar) if you don't care for raw pepper.

    I tried this over the weekend--took next to no time and was really good! We also threw a little tuna in.
