Easy Tortellini Salad

Here is a quick and easy tortellini salad to take advantage of summer vegetables. I used to grow a garden but since we have been in our new home, I haven’t decided on the optimal place to start a new one. Something I need to work on by next spring. Luckily I have Garver Family Farm in Monroe Oh., a great local farm who sales homegrown fruits and vegetables and is open throughout the spring and summer. Their cherry tomatoes are wonderful, especially the yellow ones. I could eat them like candy.

Easy Tortellini SaladSince the kids are back in school this is a great salad for them to take for lunch or as a quick dinner during those busy evenings. I used frozen cheese tortellini from Gordon Food Service (GFS). The tortellini’s are restaurant quality at an affordable price. I also used those wonderful little sweet peppers from Wilson Produce.
