Not long ago, my son left for his mission. We had a luncheon at our home after he spoke in our Ward/Church. Since it had been a very busy weekend (Wedding, reception, baby shower, family, missionary....) I decided to make things that were good, but easy. Here is one. This is a Tortellini Salad that I like to make....from my food storage items. It is really delicious!
It went to my storage room and got Olives and a bottle of Vinaigrette.
I cut up dehydrated pepper slices (that I dried a few months ago) and soaked them in hot water (total time was about 20-30 minutes)
This is a 7 ounce box of dried Tortellini. It's empty because I neglected to take the picture of if when it was full!
Cook the Tortellini according to the package directions
Strain the Tortellini in a colander.
Add sliced Olives and the re-hydrated peppers.
Place ingredients in a gallon Zip-loc bag and pour in Vinaigrette.
Place in your refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.
I would show you a finished product in a pretty bowl but when the company came, my helpful family members placed the salad in a bowl and served it quickly. When I thought about taking a picture...well there was really nothing left!
A variation that you could add would be sliced Pepperoni, which I also have in my food storage. This is an easy and delicious salad to make from shelf-stable foods that you can store.
Consider giving it a try!

How do you keep sliced pepperoni on your shelf? Is there a special way to wrap it, or do you have it dehydrated? I need to know this! : )
