Muffaletta Tortellini Salad: Submitted by: Vickie | Date Added: 8 Aug 2017
Listed in: Salads / Pasta Salad Ingredients

4 ounces Genoa salami, cut into bite size pieces
4 ounces mortadella, cut into bite size pieces
4 ounces capicola (or ham), cut into bite size pieces
4 ounces provolone cheese, cut into bite size pieces
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into bite size pieces
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen tortellini

For the Olive Salad:
¼ c red wine vinegar
¼ c plus 2 T evoo (divided)
2 t minced garlic
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried parsley
½ t fresh ground black pepper
1 (6 oz) jar Italian mix Giardiniera, chopped
½ c chopped roasted red peppers
½ c pimento stuffed olives, sliced
½ c sliced kalamata olives, halved
½ cup sliced black olives, sliced
2 T capers, drained

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the olive salad: Reserve 2 tablespoons olive oil. In a medium bowl combine vinegar, ¼ cup olive oil, garlic, oregano, parsley and black pepper. Whisk until well combined. Set aside. Cut up remaining ingredients according to ingredient list. Add remaining ingredients to bowl. Toss well until combined and coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (up to overnight).
2. Meanwhile: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Remove from heat and drain.
3. While the pasta is cooking, prepare deli meats and cheeses: cut meats and cheese into bite size pieces, approximately ¼”- ½” in size.
4. Sprinkle 2 T reserved olive oil over drained tortellini. Stir to combine. Add olive salad to drained tortellini and gently stir until well combined. Toss in chopped meats and cheeses.

(Cook's note: Meats and cheeses should be cut thick (approximately ¼”- ½”). I buy jars of Giardiniera in the dollar store! Recipe can be halved. Salad can be prepped ahead several days ahead by making the olive salad and placing in the refrigerator. Cut meats and cheeses and refrigerate. On the day you wish to serve cook tortellini and prepare salad. This can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.)
