Chicken Tortellini Salad Supreme

Chicken Tortellini Salad Supreme

That's a snazzy name.

I had to come up with something worthy of this salad.

We had a picnic dinner on the beach Saturday night with friends

and I made this salad.

It's a perfect picnic salad.

You can make it ahead and it's very portable.

Here's the recipe:

1 package Buitoni (or your favorite) tortellini, cooked al dente

1 cup (or to taste) of Cardini's Aged Parmesan Ranch Dressing 

(or your favorite Ranch Dressing)

1 can large olives, drained and cut in half

1 small bag or 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted (5 minutes at 325*)

1 bag frozen broccoli florets, cooked (microwave covered on a plate for 5 minutes)

1 container cherry tomatoes, cut in half

3 whole chicken breasts, cooked and chopped

(I grill marinated breasts and chill before chopping up)

Toss all ingredients in a large serving bowl and chill for several hours.

I like to cook the tortellini and the chicken and broccoli ahead 

and I chill all of the ingredients before tossing it together. 

I served it with slices of fresh watermelon. 

And some wine...

Savor Summer 

and 

Enjoy!
