Tossed Tortellini Salad

Thanks to Betty Crocker for yet another new yummy recipe that I tried the other day for lunch!

Tossed Tortellini Salad

1package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
1package (9 ounces) refrigerated chicken-filled tortellini
4cups shredded leaf lettuce
3tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
2medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1/2teaspoon pepper
3tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
2tablespoons cider vinegar
1tablespoon Dijon mustard





1. Cook and drain tortellinis as directed on packages.
2. Mix lettuce, basil, tomatoes and pepper in bowl.
3. Stir in tortellinis.
4. Mix oil, vinegar and mustard; toss with tortellini mixture.
5. Cover and refrigerate for about one hour, or until chilled.

(I found out that the leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. After that, the lettuce gets too soggy. If you plan on keeping leftovers for longer, don't mix the lettuce in until ready to serve.)
