INSTRUCTIONS
*Original recipe called for 1 c. red onions but I thought the taste was too
strong.
**Original recipe called for 2 c. tomatoes.
Add tortellini to a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Boil for
about 25 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain.
Mix all above ingredients, except Cheddar cheese and lettuce. Add
tortellini; toss well. Chill; marinate 2 to 4 hours. Sprinkle with Cheddar
cheese. Serve on bed of shredded lettuce (opt'l. - I just served as is).
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
On back of 1 lb. box of Amore brand cheese tortellini. Distributed by
Liberty/Ramsey Imports, Universal Foods Corp., Carlstadt, NJ 07072. First
had this at Dabo's in 1986 in Pensacola, FL. Valerie Sloane, one of the
co-owners, gave the recipe to me. Tried at home on 06/18/87. Posted by
