This tortellini pasta salad recipe with tomatoes and peas is one of my standard dishes for potlucks or parties. It's vegetarian and so good! Don't skimp on the dressing, as the tortellini soaks up a lot of it. I estimated the vinaigrette amounts, so you can simply taste for yourself.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain; set aside to cool.

Combine cooled tortellini, cooled peas, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, chives, and parsley in a large bowl.

Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper together in a small bowl until well combined; it will taste sour. Pour vinaigrette over tortellini salad; toss well.
