Summer Tortellini Salad

I don’t know about you, but I like use the oven as little as possible in the Summer so I try to create easy summer salad recipes.

This Summer Tortellini Salad is a version based on one my mom used to make. She added artichokes, but I don’t like artichokes so I leave them out, but feel free to add some to your recipe!

The only heat this Summer Tortellini Salad requires you to use in your oven is to boil water. Soil boil in the morning when it is cooler outside, refrigerate it and then serve it for dinner! The only other heat you may get is the heat from your kids’ bodies when they hug you for making such a delicious dinner!
