Bunco Baby ~


Last week I was lucky to host my neighborhood bunco - I am super lucky, not only do I have "neighborly" neighbors, but they are all super fun to hang out with!

I wanted to share my Mom's fantastic Tortellini Salad. It is always a hit and it is super easy to make.

2 - 12oz Package Cheese Tortellini - Cooked and Cooled
1 - 8 1/2 oz Water Packed Artichokes - Drained and Quartered
1 Cup Diced Tomatoes
1 Cup Crumbled Feta
1/2 Cup Sliced Black Olives
1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts
Dressing- Mix the following together:
1/4 Cup White Wine Vinegar
1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions
3 Cloves Garlic Chopped
1 Tablespoon Basil
1 teaspoon Dried Dill
1/2 Cup Oil
Then simply toss the cooked pasta, dressing and remaining ingredients together. I think it tastes much better after it has "marinated" for a few hours. Just make sure to toss before serving - and you might have to add a bit more dressing as the pasta can really soak it up.

Thanks ladies for a great night!

Oh, our Bunco group in our neighborhood disbanned! I think some of the women were a little dysfunctional and it became work. Can I join yours, lol?

Love that wine bottle label front and center in the last picture! : ) That salad looks and sounds so good, Chelsea! I would love to make that and be able to eat it, but my gluten free diet keeps me from wonderful pastas like tortellini.
