TERRIFIC TORTELLINI SALAD

One 9 oz. package refrigerated light cheese tortellini (or ravoili's)
3 cups broccoli flowerettes
1 cup crinkle-cut or sliced thin carrots (2 medium)
1/4 cup sliced green onions (2)
1/2 cup bottle, reduced-fat ranch salad dressing
1 large tomato, chopped
1 cup fresh pea pods, halved
Milk (optional)

In a large saucepan cook pasta according to package directions. Add the broccoli and carrots during the last three minutes of cooking. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again.

In a large bowl combine the cooked pasta mixture and green onions; drizzle with dressing. Gently toss to coat. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.

Before serving, gently stir tomato and pea pods into pasta mixture. If necessary stir in a little milk to moisten.

You will want to eat the whole thing, LOL!!!
