Southern Living Tortellini and Tomato Salad

by Blue-Eyed Bride on June 24, 2011

I made this recipe from the July issue of Southern Living on Thursday night. It was such a hit. It was light and summery, but still had tons of flavor! This is the picture that Southern Living has on their website and I’ve included the recipe here.

Ingredients
  • 2 (9-oz.) packages refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups baby heirloom tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
  • Salt and pepper
Preparation
  • 1. Prepare tortellini according to package directions.
  • 2. Meanwhile, process olive oil and next 5 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Toss olive oil mixture with hot cooked tortellini, tomatoes, and next 3 ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I snapped a picture of the page out of this month’s Southern Living and took a picture of my finished dish!

That looks delicious. I have a recipe that’s kinda like that but with the stop light peppers. LOVE IT. I am dying to try this but the hubs hates tomatoes so I have to wait until he’s outta town.

This sounds delicious! I will have to try it out. I’ve subscribed to Southern Living for several years and lately I haven’t even had a chance to look at them.

I made this last night for our Bible study and everybody loved it! It was so delicious and easy to make. I don’t have much time between work and the study, so this was perfect. Thanks for the great ideas!

Big props to you for managing to cook with two little ones! I have one 7-month old and I still can’t figure out how to fit it in. You’re my hero! It looks amazing…and will now become my goal for next week – cook one meal – this one!

Keep the recipes and inspiration coming!
