Tortellini Appetizer
The festive green and red of this appetizer will make it a welcomed addition to a holiday buffet table. Store-bought pesto keeps the preparation fast. Sometimes I like to heat the garlic in a skillet and use skewers for a different look. —Cheryl Lama, Royal Oak, Michigan

I made this for a holiday party and everyone raved about how festive it looked on the table!
I have been making this for years now and never reviewed so thought I should. When I make the dip I do it the easiest way possible using Spice World minced garlic which is already prepared. This way no baking garlic, just take it out of jar (two teaspoons equals 4 cloves) and add to other ingredients. Saves time.Also we make the skewers/toothpicks with tortellini, mozzarella small balls, and the grape tomatoes. You can leave off tomatoes or mozzarella on every other one to have a variety.My family and friends love this!
Every time I make this, people rave about the dip. It's the perfect simple recipe for any occasion, especially "all appetizer parties" because it provides a little more substance than a lot of other apps. Highly recommend. If I can do it, you can do it!

I couldn't find long toothpicks, so I used bamboo skewers and added a tiny fresh mozzarella ball, an olive, and a marinated artichoke heart quarter. I used a tortellini at the top and bottom of the skewer. I placed the tall skewers in a vase, and it looked like a floral arrangement. The dip is fabulous. I made too much, so I put the leftovers in a bowl, added a dollop of the dressing and tossed, for a great pasta salad.

This was a hit at a recent party. I like it with a little extra pesto.
So yummy, yet light. I've made and taken to several gatherings and it's gone quickly every time! The dipping sauce is the best part. :)
So unique and fun. Delicious!
