Super Scrumptious Tortellini Bacon Broccoli Salad: It’s What Your Family Wants

What’s awesome about this dish is the fact that you can make it ahead of time and stick it in the fridge. It will stay good in there for a few days, so you can enjoy it all throughout the week… if it lasts that long! I like to double up on this recipe and take it to different BBQs and potluck dinners all year long. It’s always a huge crowd pleaser. I get tons of requests for the recipe and a load of compliments every time I show up with it somewhere.

“Fabulous does not even come close to describing it! Everyone loved it and raved about it. Do not hesitate to try this.”

I wasn’t quite sure about this recipe at first, but I followed my gut and it was terrific!

 

Ingredients

2 (9 ounce) packages refrigerated three-cheese tortellini

1 pound Oscar Mayer bacon

4 cups chopped broccoli

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 cup bottled coleslaw dressing

 

 

Instructions

Cook the tortellini according to the package directions, drain, rinse with cold water, and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces while still a little warm.

Place the tortellini, bacon, broccoli, grape tomatoes, and green onions into a salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the ingredients, and toss lightly to coat. Chill in refrigerator before serving.
