Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Add your tortellini and cook according to the package directions, about 5-10 minutes.
- Once the tortellini is cooked, carefully drain it in a colander and rinse under cold water to cool it down.
- Chop the salami, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Gently fold the cooled tortellini into the mixing bowl, then drizzle the Italian dressing over the mixture and toss gently.
- Taste the salad, and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.
- Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container, and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
