Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat and cool.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then add the frozen cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, around 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt, oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until completely blended.
- Add the cooled tortellini, crispy bacon, chopped pepperoncini, grated Parmesan cheese, diced red onion, and sliced tomatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir, taste, and adjust the seasoning with additional dressing if needed.
