s a blend of your favorite island flavors in a fabulously bright Hawaiian Tortellini Pasta Salad (WIth Video)

Chad and I are celebrating 20 years together and 10 years married this year. It is a big year. When we married it was not good timing for a honeymoon so we said we would take out honeymoon for our 1st anniversary. Well, 1st became 2nd and needless to say we never had that honeymoon. Here we are celebrating 10 years and I want to celebrate big.

Hawaii big! I am thinking about traveling to Hawaii and renewing our vows in a very intimate ceremony on the beach. I imagine a beautiful flowing floral dress, leis around our necks (Chad is wear some cool beach shorts and a shirt) and waves crashing on the beach with my beautiful daughter standing by my side. Lots of entertainment, hula dancing, luaus and food. Ohhhh, the food. That is the absolute perfect 'familymoon'!!!


I have never actually been to Hawaii, but I have dreamed of it and with summer nearing and Hawaii on my mind I was inspired to create a recipe with the essence of Hawaii in a summer salad. One of my favorite combinations that makes me think of Hawaii is ham and pineapple. The inspiration of this recipe actually came from the Hawaiian pizza (very mainland, huh?) once you try one you may never go back.

My favorite Hawaiian pizza is a hand tossed crust with marinara sauce that is fully loaded with ham, pineapple, red onion, and peppers. I took that amazing Hawaiian pizza and turned into my newest summer salad creation.

It all starts with a rainbow of vegetables, ham, tortellini and pineapple of course. But the real magic is the dressing. A sweet pineapple dressing with a little kick from ginger is the perfect complement to this fun and non-traditional Hawaiian Tortellini Salad.

This pasta salad is so summery and refreshing. I could not stop eating it. I did manage to share it with family and friends though. What can I say, I love to feed people. And they all loved it and asked for the recipe! That is the mark of a great recipe. I know you are going to love it too.

Helpful Tips to make Hawaiian Tortellini Salad:

  • Salad is excellent the next day. If you like a lighter dressing coating make 1/2 of the dressing recipe. This gives it a nice and thick coating.
  • If you do not have ginger paste, you can use finely diced fresh ginger or ground ginger to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon).
  • This is a fantastic make ahead salad. When making ahead, use 1/2 of the dressing when preparing the salad. Reserve the remaining dressing to pour over the salad before you serve. This will keep the salad nice and creamy. If you use all of the dressing initially your pasta may soak up all the dressing.

Muffaletta Tortellini Salad + VIDEO

Muffaletta Tortellini Salad is all your favorite things about a pasta salad and the classic Italian flavors of the Muffaletta sandwich rolled into one amazing summer salad. An easy recipe that you will be making all year long. Perfect recipe for left over ham!

 is all your favorite things about a pasta salad and the classic Italian flavors of the Mu Muffaletta Tortellini Salad + VIDEO

Have you ever been to New Orleans?  Nawlin's as the locals call it.

We had an awesome trip last year and I fell in love with the Muffaletta sandwich while I was there (I may have had several and even taken one to the airport with me).

It's a Sicilian sandwich that originated in New Orleans more than 100 years ago.  Honestly, I have never had a sandwich quite so good in my life.

Loaded with my favorite Italian deli meats and cheeses topped with the most amazing olive salad you can find.

I have been thinking about it since we left Louisiana last summer,  I knew that we would be making a fabulous marinated olive salad with olives and oils.

Although I had a ton of ideas I decided on a tortellini salad for this amazing spin on the classic Muffaletta.

Bursting with Italian flavor from the salami and ham to cheeses and olive salad, this pasta dish is great served cold or hot.

Olive salad is packed with olives, Italian vegetables and spices to create the most amazing flavor combination you can add to pasta or a sandwich.

You are going to love this Muffaletta Tortellini Salad.  I ate it for a week straight.

Helpful Tips to make Muffaletta Tortellini Salad :

  • Meats and cheeses and be purchased at your grocery store deli counter.  As for them to be thick cut (approximately 1/4”- 1/2”).
  • Giardiniera is an Italian mix of pickled vegetables and can be found in your grocery store near the pickles and olives.
  • Recipe can be halved.
  • Salad can be prepped ahead several days ahead by making the olive salad and placing in the refrigerator.  Cut meats and cheeses and refrigerate.  On the day you wish to serve cook tortellini and prepare salad. Muffaletta Tortellini Salad will keep for several days to a week in the fridge.

What you will need to make Muffaletta Tortellini Salad :

  • Colanderthis kitchen essential makes life so much easier!  You can use it to drain pasta or wash veggies and fruit.
  • Cutting Board- A big good solid cutting board so you can prep all your veggies on one surface.  I use my cutting board daily so it’s worth the investment. 
  • Quality Knives- Quality knives make prep time much quicker and are important for safety as well.  If you make one kitchen investment, I believe it should be in quality knives.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Greek Tortellini Pasta Salad (With Video)

 Loaded with fresh vegetables and tortellini pasta this  Greek Tortellini Pasta Salad (With Video)


As temps are starting to warm up, I couldn't wait any longer for a summery salad.  I love love love Greek salad and it sounded absolutely perfect, but with one addition this time:  tortellini.

I have been drooling over a Greek Salad with Tortellini on Maria's blog for over a year now and finally decided that I had to try adding tortellini to my favorite Greek salad recipe.

The only 'rules' in Greek salad are tomatoes, olives, feta and olive oil.  I love mine loaded with crunchy veggies; peppers, red onion and cucumbers added to the tomatoes, Kalamata olives and loads of Feta cheese makes this a fabulous salad that I could eat every day!

But add the salad dressing and I am over the moon, red wine vinegar and olive oil combined with spices and a bit of sugar.

The tortellini is the perfect addition to this salad.  I thought it was perfect before, boy was I wrong.  The tortellini add an unexpected element to this salad.

The pasta adds texture and flavor.  To be honest, I don't think I will ever make Greek salad without tortellini pasta again.
