Italian-style tortelloni salad
This salad is a hearty and nutritious meal in itself and should be served as a main meal rather than as a starter. You can use any type of tortelloni, but we recommend spinach and ricotta flavoured. The salad also contains other classic Italian ingredients such as pine nuts, basil, Parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Although there are numerous ingredients, the salad is extremely easy to prepare.
