Ingredients

2 packages refrigerated three-cheese tortellini , 9 ounce
1 pound bacon
4 cups chopped broccoli
1 pint grape tomatoes , halved
2 greens onions , finely chopped
1 cup bottled coleslaw dressing

Instructions

1

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 tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
2

Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; drain. Chop into ½-inch pieces while still a little warm.
3

Combine tortellini, bacon, broccoli, grape tomatoes, and green onions in a bowl; pour dressing over top and toss lightly to coat. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.
