TORTELLINI TRICOLORE SALAD
This Italian-inspired salad uses fresh cheese tortellini as its base. (You can find fresh tortellini in the refrigerated section of your local supermarket.) It's a fun variation on the usual pasta salad suspects. Plus, it's superconvenient because you can fix it up to a day ahead and serve it straight from the fridge. We love the way tortellini and mozzarella taste when they've been marinating in Italian seasonings and how nice the colors of the broccoli, tomatoes, and olives look when they are served together. That's why we call this salad tricolore (Italian for "three colors")!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Drain well and let cool.

- To make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Italian salad dressing mix, and vinegar.
- In a large bowl, combine the tortellini, broccoli, mozzarella, chicken, cherry tomatoes, and olives. Fold the dressing into the salad. Taste and add more vinegar, if desired.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil.
- To make the most flavorful dressing, use extra-virgin olive oil. You can also add a touch of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for extra acidity.
- If you don't have time to make your own dressing, you can use a store-bought Italian dressing.
- If you're using a tomato that is particularly juicy, you may want to drain some of the excess juice before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
- To make the salad more colorful, you can add other vegetables, such as sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or olives.
- This salad is best served fresh, but it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Italian Tricolore Salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as a side dish or a main course, this salad is sure to be a hit.
