s a blend of your favorite pizza toppings in a fabulously zesty and tangy summer pasta sal Pizza Tortellini Pasta Salad + VIDEO

When I start thinking about summer my mind is flooded with memories of amazing barbecues, unforgettable beach parties and family get-togethers.

Weekends at the beach, pig roasts at sunset and family fun that would go into the wee hours of the morning. As far back as I can remember there were always tables of food at every gathering. I mean we are Italian, but we grew up in a little southern town in Florida.

Which meant not only did we know how to roast a pig but there was amazing food and sweet tea at every event. I mean nothing goes better with a summer meal than iced tea.

Of course there were more side dishes than you could count and naturally I gravitated to the pasta salads. My love for pasta, and especially tortellini has turned into this near dedication to turn all of my favorite meals into a pasta salad.

Our Pizza Tortellini Salad is a fusion of my favorite pizza with bacon, pepperoni and black olives with a fabulous summer salad. They come together to create the most spectacular summer salad yet!

It all starts with a rainbow of vegetables, bacon, pepperoni, black olives, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses and tender cheese tortellini, of course. But the real magic is the dressing. A homemade zesty Italian dressing with a little kick from red pepper flakes is the perfect complement to this fun Pizza 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 Pizza Tortellini Pasta Salad:

  • Salad is excellent the next day. 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. If you use all of the dressing initially your pasta may soak up all the dressing.

Hawaiian Tortellini Pasta Salad (WIth Video)

Hawaiian Tortellini Pasta Salad is a like a party in your mouth! It's a blend of your favorite island flavors in a fabulously bright, sweet and tangy summer pasta salad. A simple recipe with an outstanding pineapple-ginger dressing, this will be a hit everywhere you take it.

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.

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 :

  • Colander – this 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.

How to Make Taco Pasta Salad:

I love keeping prepared salads in my fridge during the summer months. They keep so well and make a perfect, cool and filling lunch.

This Taco Tortellini Salad brings two worlds of flavor into one big bowl and it keeps in the fridge for days, making it a perfect grab-and-go lunch.


Hey guys, it’s Heather from Heather Likes Food and I’m a new contributor here at TSRI. I’m so excited to share some of my favorite recipes with you each month.

Simple, delicious food is my love language and I hope it’s yours too!


This Taco Tortellini Pasta salad includes seasoned ground beef, sweet bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, black olives, green onion, and the best part—crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos!

They add that cheesy crunch that makes this salad incredible.


To make things super easy, we’re using bottled Catalina Dressing to dress this tortellini salad. It adds a sweetness and tang that compliments the rich cheese tortellini and ground beef and really makes the flavors in this salad pop.

If you’re looking for other salads that keep well in the fridge for a quick summer lunch, check out this Somen Noodle Salad with Grilled Chicken or this Bowtie Chicken Caesar Salad.

Helpful Tips to make Taco Pasta Salad:

  • Make sure to cook the tortellini just until tender. Overcooked tortellini will be more likely to turn soggy and fall apart in your salad.
  • Add the Doritos to the salad just before serving so they stay crunchy. If you’re taking this salad to a potluck, crush the chips in a big layer on the top so every serving gets a good helping. If keeping in your fridge for individual servings, take a handful of chips and crush them over the top of your plate before eating.
  • Drain your cooked ground beef well. Make sure to remove any excess fat from your cooked ground beef before seasoning. Since this is a cold salad, ground beef that has not been drained can taste gritty and undesirable. 

What you will need to make Taco Pasta Salad:

  • Large slotted spoon- Use this to remove the cooked tortellini from the cooking water to avoid broken pasta and uneven draining. 
  • Wooden Spoon- You’ll want a nice, sturdy spoon to help you stir this hearty salad together
  • Mixing Bowl- This tortellini salad is perfect for a crowd and will need a large bowl to mix and store it in.

Enjoy!
