Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes or according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; drain. Chop into 1/2-inch pieces while still a little warm.
Step 3
Combine tortellini, bacon, broccoli, grape tomatoes, and green onions in a salad bowl; pour dressing over top and toss lightly to coat. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cups chopped broccoli
  • 2 (9 ounce) packages refrigerated three-cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup bottled coleslaw dressing
