Cooking Steps
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes, then drain. Rinse under cold water until cool, 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and finely dice cucumber. In a large bowl, combine cooled tortelloni, tomato, cucumber, and Italian dressing; season with salt and pepper. Divide between bowls and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Probably won't reorder, just because they're a little too heavy, but that's just the nature of tortellini. Fresh tomatoes are so nice. One of us doesn't enjoy Italian dressing, so we use Caesar leftover from a salad, but beefed up with extra garlic, Coleman's mustard powder and anchovy paste. Yum!
Eating tortellini cold was, er, surprising. But I did like the dressing, and the overall taste was good. You might want to give some more thought to the veggies; one plum tomato and a very small cucumber didn't add much to the taste (or appearance).
Fabulous tortellinis, good dressing pairing. The produce was not of the best quality, those cucumbers don't last well packed in plastic and the tomato was mushy.
These tortellini salads have amazing flavor and are perfect for a light lunch or side for a gathering!
I actually didn't feel like cooking, so I heated up the tortellini and added it to my HelloFresh tomato soup. I'm not sorry. That was an awesome, quick and satisfying dinner on a chilly fall night.
The cucumber went bad before we could make the recipe, so I added my own tomatoes, pepperoni, more dressing, cheddar cheese cubes and some black olives on mine.
This is such a fresh dish. I have replicated it 2 times since I got the kit. It is a fast tasty meal!
Perfect quick lunch that you can make ahead and have in the fridge. Would be good with a little roasted chicken added in.
Delicious, quick and easy. I added extra Italian dressing from my fridge because I like mine with extra dressing.
Maybe send just a little more dressing. Seemed like it wasn't enough for the amount of pasta. In my opinion it was a lot of pasta compared to the other ingredients. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be.
