ITALIAN TORTELLINI SALAD BOWL 
2 c. loose-pack frozen mixed broccoli, carrots, cauliflower
4 oz. Provolone cheese or mozzarella cheese
1 (2 1/4 oz. can sliced pitted black olives
4 or 5 c. torn mixed salad greens
1 pt. (2 c.) deli marinated tortellini salad
1 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. sliced pepperoni
1/4 c. finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 bottle clear Italian salad dressing

Place frozen vegetables in a colander. Run hot water over vegetables until just thawed. Drain well.

While vegetables are draining, cut Provolone or mozzarella cheese into 1/2 inch cubes. Drain olives.

In a large salad bowl combine drained vegetables, cheese cubes, olives, salad greens, undrained tortellini salad, and pepperoni slices. Toss lightly to coat. If necessary, add enough of the Italian dressing to coat. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. Serves 4.
