Asiago Cheese Tortellini Skewers Directions
- Cook the tortellini according to the directions on the package, for 4-6 minutes.

- When the tortellini are completely cooled, drain them well, and allow them to dry on a clean dish towel or paper towels.
- Peel and cut the avocados into bite-sized pieces (about the size of the tortellini).
- Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces (about the size of the tortellini).
- Open the cans of olives, and then drain them well.
- Begin assembling the snacks by alternating the tortellini, tomato pieces, avocado pieces, and black olives onto the skewers.
- Repeat this assembly process until all of the ingredients are used.
- Arrange the skewers on a platter or cutting board, drizzle with a touch of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- For the dressing, combine all the listed ingredients in a blender and mix until incorporated. Serve and enjoy!
