1 cup | Minced parsley |
6 tablespoons | Picante or barbecue sauce |
1 cup | Grated Cheddar cheese |
\N \N | Shredded lettuce (opt'l.) |
*Original recipe called for 1 c. red onions but I thought the taste was too strong.
**Original recipe called for 2 c. tomatoes.
Add tortellini to a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Boil for about 25 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain.
Mix all above ingredients, except Cheddar cheese and lettuce. Add tortellini; toss well. Chill; marinate 2 to 4 hours. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Serve on bed of shredded lettuce (opt'l. - I just served as is).

First had this at Dabo's in 1986 in Pensacola, FL. Valerie Sloane, one of the co-owners, gave the recipe to me. Tried at home on 06/18/87. Posted by Cathy Harned.
