Yummo Tortellini Salad

If your kids like pasta like mine do...and salami..and cheese, then hopefully they will like this pasta salad.

Mix together:
10 oz of cheese tortellini, cooked and drained, cooled (rinse with cold water). Girls, don't overdo pasta, especially when you are putting it in a salad...it becomes mushy.
1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley
1/4 lb Salami, you can do anything you want here...proscuitto, genoa salami, pepperoni, make it fun!
1/4 lb havarti cheese, cubed (I love this stuff!)
1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced (that way the kids don't notice it as much!)
1/3 cup black olives sliced...I can never have enough of these!
2 green onions, thinly sliced. Toss with homemade dressing, ez, 3 T red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon coarsley ground black pepper, one clove of minced garlic (if you are using the minced garlic from a jar, I'd say a teaspoon) 1/2 cup virgin olive oil. Blend well, (you could shake it up in a jar), pour over the salad and let it refridgerate for at least an hour. If you make it more than 3 hours before serving, save 1/2 of the dressing to toss the salad with right before serving. :)
