How to Make Creamy Tortellini Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package directions.
- While the tortellini cooks, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, and 1 clove minced garlic. Mix until smooth.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Set the dressing aside.
- With about 3 minutes remaining on the tortellini cooking time, add 1 cup trimmed green beans to the boiling water.
- With about 1 minute remaining, add 1 medium carrot, shredded, to the pot.
- Drain the tortellini and vegetables. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and drain well.
- Transfer the drained tortellini and vegetables to a large serving bowl.
- Pour the dressing and 1/4 cup milk over the tortellini and vegetables.
- Gently toss everything together with a wooden spoon until well combined and the tortellini is evenly coated.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with extra dill or chives, if desired.
