Ingredients
Method
- Cook the tortellini according to package directions (7-9 minutes for refrigerated, a bit longer for frozen). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down. Let it drain completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt.
- Chop your pepperoni, salami, ham, and pepperoncini. Halve your cherry tomatoes and dice the red onion.
- Add the cooled tortellini to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat everything evenly.
- Add the chopped meats, pepperoncini, tomatoes, red onion, and Parmesan cheese. Gently fold everything together to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour, but preferably 2-4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
- Before serving, give the salad a good stir. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
This salad combines bold Italian sub flavors with the satisfying texture of cheese tortellini. It’s the ideal crowd-pleaser that can be prepped ahead and served chilled.
