These were very delicious. I marinated the tortellini most of the day and the flavor was awesome!

Excellent! I bring these to every picnic or potluck I go to and always get rave reviews!

Cute, but very hard to roll up the cheese without it folding and breaking. I ended up rolling it inside the salami; that worked better - the salami holds it together. And the tortellini didn't pick up much flavor from the dressing, and I had it marinating for 24 hours! All in all, cute but too much trouble. Cut up the salami and cheese and toss all the ingredients w/dressing and make a tortellini salad!

I have made something very similar to this several times. To add an extra kick, use green olives stuffed with jalapenos. You can mix up the variety of olives and use blue cheese or almond stuffed ones as well.

This recipe had been circulated around my office 25 yrs ago. I have used it numerous times. Glad to see it is still around.

These were quite a hit when I took them as appetizers for Easter dinner. I used sharp cheddar instead of the provolone and made some with salami and some with pepperoni.
