I love pasta salads that are easy to make, filling and full of fun flavors, and this Pesto Tortellini is all those things. It’s delicious, and everyone always loves it! It tops the list of my favorite pasta salad recipes, along with this Spinach Avocado Pasta Salad and Teriyaki Bowtie Pasta Salad.
Ingredients Needed
- Pesto: Homemade Pesto or good quality store-bought. (Use leftover pesto to make pesto pizza, or one pan pesto chicken and veggies).
- Caesar Dressing: make homemade caesar dressing, or use store-bought.
- Tortellini: I suggest good quality refrigerated tortellini.
- Tomatoes: I like to use cherry tomatoes but use any kind you like.
- Olives: pitted, sliced black olives.
- Onion: I recommend green onion but sweet onion or diced red onion would work.
- Sunflower Seeds or pine nuts.
- Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
- Fresh Basil is essential!
