Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add frozen cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically 3-5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt, oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- Add the cooled tortellini, sliced pepperoncini, chopped bacon, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped red onion, and sliced tomatoes to the mixing bowl. Toss gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Once chilled, toss the salad before serving. Garnish with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
