Layered Spinach Salad

Deliciously different from the usual layered salads, this is a great 'make-ahead-to-take-along' dish for potlucks, picnics and backyard get-togethers.

Recipe Ingredients:

9 ounces refrigerated uncooked cheese tortellini
2 cups shredded red cabbage
6 cups torn spinach
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup sliced green onions
1 cup prepared ranch dressing
8 to 10 slices smoked bacon, cooked and crumbled

Cooking Directions:

1. Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water.
2. In a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass dish, layer cabbage, spinach, tortellini, tomatoes, and green onions.
3. Pour dressing evenly over top and sprinkle with bacon; cover. Refrigerate until serving time.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
