Tortellini Salad

I've made it a goal to cook more  for the next couple of weeks. I even made a menu and bought all the ingredients I'll need!

I'm also trying to lose weight and eat healthier, so tonight for dinner I made something really healthy, easy to make, and yummy.

(Sorry that the picture quality isn't too great. I don't best camera for these types of pictures.)

Tortellini Salad

1 package cheese-filled tortellini

1 bag Caesar salad mix

1/4 cup bacon bits

1 medium tomato, chopped

1/4 tsp pepper
1 small can olives
Salad dressing (either Caesar or Italian is best)

Cook and drain tortellini, as directed on package. Rinse with cold water. Toss tortellini, salad mix, tomato, bacon bits, olives and pepper. Serve immediately.
Serves 6.

Notes:
I didn't use olives because we didn't have any on hand and my husband doesn't particularly like olives. I like olives a lot, so if we had some at home, I would've put them in anyway and made him pick the olives out. ;)
I personally like Italian dressing better, and since I'm trying to eat better, I used fat free Italian dressing.

When my husband came home for dinner (I actually had dinner ready and waiting for him! Go me!), I had to make a joke that he might need to eat something more "manly" later after eating this "rabbit" food, as he would call it. I guess that's why we have ice cream in the freezer, right?
