Ingredients
- 12 ounces cheese tortellini
- 2 carrots shredded
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 sweet onion chopped
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook to package directions. Rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside until cooled.
- While the tortellini is cooking, chop the vegetables for the salad. Add the celery, carrots, onions, and red pepper to a bowl.
- Add the cooked and cooled tortellini into the bowl with the chopped vegetables.
- Add the dressing ingredients together: white vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and white pepper. Mix well until combined. Pour the dressing over the tortellini salad and set aside.
- Mix well, and cover the tortellini salad. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (up to 24 hours), to allow the tortellini and vegetables to marinate in the dressing.
- Once the pasta salad has marinated, stir in the mayonnaise. Serve chilled, and enjoy!
