Recipe Ingredients

1 lb Tortellini (I used cheese)

1 c Olive oil

3/4 c White wine vinegar

1/2 ts Pepper

2 Garlic cloves; minced

1 ts Chili powder

1 ts Dry mustard

1 ts Paprika

3/4 c Diced red onions*

2 1/2 c Chopped tomatoes**

1 c Minced parsley

6 tb Picante or barbecue sauce

1 c Grated Cheddar cheese

Shredded lettuce (opt'l.)

Directions

*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
