Layered Tortellini Spinach Salad

(Photo by Taste of Home)
 I went looking for this recipe today as I wanted to share it in Gooseberry Patch's recipe round-up.  But apparently I had never posted it.  So I hunted it up in my word processing document where my favorite recipes are stored ... and here it is!

LAYERED  TORTELLINI  SPINACH  SALAD

1 9-ounce package frozen or refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cups shredded red cabbage
6 cups torn fresh spinach (or use whole baby spinach)
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 8-ounce bottle ranch dressing
Cooked crumbled bacon if desired  (I just use purchased real bacon bits)

Cook tortellini according to package directions.  Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.  In a large glass bowl, layer cabbage, spinach, tortellini, tomatoes, and onions.  Pour dressing over top; sprinkle with bacon if desired.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Yield:  8-10 servings.

    This great recipe is from  Taste of Home magazine.  I have often made this for campground potlucks in the past.  It is so easy, but very delicious.



And now... back to housework.
