Cooking Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt, oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the cooked tortellini, chopped pepperoncini, Parmesan cheese, diced red onion, chopped tomatoes, and cooked bacon to the dressing. Toss gently until combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and serve in bowls, garnished with extra herbs or cheese if desired.
