Drescription

This tortellini salad is made with cheese tortellini with pepperoni, mozzarella, olives, and artichoke hearts. Great for picnics or a nice summertime meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, diced
  • 4 ounces sliced pepperoni, quartered
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • dressing:
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried italian herb seasoning
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Start the salad: 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 the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes.
  3. While the tortellini is cooking, make the dressing: Whisk oil, both vinegars, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  4. Finish the salad: Drain tortellini, then rinse with cold water and drain again. Transfer to a large bowl and add artichoke hearts, mozzarella, pepperoni, olives, and green onions.
  5. Pour dressing over top and toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Apfelstrudel

Apple Strudel ("Apfelstrudel") is a typical and beloved Austrian dessert. This is my granny's recipe -- and I've never had any better tasting Apple Strudel. I think it would be awfully impolite not to share this outstanding piece of dessert with you. Hell, it took Austria at least two dynasties of decadent monarchs to come up with delicious treats like that while ignoring things like international relations and world politics. I hope the length of the recipe doesn’t scare you off. This is just because I explained everything in detail. For accuracy, I recommend measuring everything by weight if you can. Enjoy!
