Tortellini Salad With Salami And Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (13 ounce) bags cheese tortellini
1/2 lb genoa salami
1 green bell pepper
2 small bunch broccoli
1 (8 ounce) package cheddar cheese (I use orange cheese, makes the salad more colorful)
8 ounces Italian salad dressing
garlic salt

Preparation

Cook tortellinis for minimum cook time as directed on package.
Drain tortellinis and rinse with cold water.
Cut broccoli into bite size pieces. I discard most of the stems.
Put broccoli in saucepan, cover with a few inches of water, and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook!
Drain broccoli and rinse with cold water.
Cut green pepper into 1-2\" pieces.
Cut cheese into small cubes.
Slice the salami into strips using a sharp knife.
Put everything into a large bowl, sprinkle with some garlic salt, and toss with about half of a 16 oz bottle of salad dressing. You can use more or less depending on your tastes, but half seems to work pretty well.
Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
