    Cook tortellini to desired doneness, according to package. Place broccoli in colander and drain the tortellinni over the broccoli. Then rinse with cold water.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the cherry tomatoes and parmesan cheese.

    Cover and refrigerate between 4-6 hours. (I have prepared this dish and served it within an hour. It can be served at room temperature or cold.)

    Just before serving, add cherry tomatoes, mix lightly. If using sliced tomato, just place on top and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese. ENJOY!
