Tortellini-and-Tomato Salad

This is a recipe I found in Southern Living. Made it for the entire Slivensky Clan over the 4th of July, with the exception of the kiddos everyone really liked it. Makes a great summer dish, we even ate it cold and liked it.

2 (9 oz.) pkg. refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 Tbls. fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh corn kernels (I used frozen run under warm water)
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (I did not use that much)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
Salt and Pepper


Prepare tortellini according to package directions.

Meanwhile, process olive oil and next 5 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Toss olive oil
mixture with hot cooked tortellini, tomatoes, corn, onion and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

The recipe did not call for it but I sprinkled freshly grated parmesan cheese over the top before I served it.

Enjoy!
