Asiago Cheese Tortellini Skewers Directions

    1. Cook the tortellini according to the directions on the package, for 4-6 minutes. 
    2. Once the pasta is finished cooking, drain it well, and cool it immediately under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
    3. When the tortellini are completely cooled, drain them well, and allow them to dry on a clean dish towel or paper towels.
    4. Peel and cut the avocados into bite-sized pieces (about the size of the tortellini).
    5. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces (about the size of the tortellini).
    6. Open the cans of olives, and then drain them well.
    7. Begin assembling the snacks by alternating the tortellini, tomato pieces, avocado pieces, and black olives onto the skewers.
    8. Repeat this assembly process until all of the ingredients are used.
    9. Arrange the skewers on a platter or cutting board, drizzle with a touch of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    10. For the dressing, combine all the listed ingredients in a blender and mix until incorporated. Serve and enjoy!
