I had something like this at a ward potluck and recreated it at home
Romaine lettuce
Pepperoni or pepperocini
Black olives
Fresh mozzarella (chopped up or made in little balls)
cooked cheese tortellini
chopped red bell pepper
cherry tomatoes
Really good italian dressing
Toss it all and eat. I liked that the tortellinis were still warm.

Prep time: 30 min.

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1 jar (26 oz) chunky spaghetti sauce w/ garlic & herb
2 small zucchini, sliced
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions; rinse and drain.
Meanwhile, brown beef with onion, garlic, and oregano in large skillet over medium-high heat; drain. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Add spaghetti sauce and zucchini. Cook 15 min. or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Arrange half of pasta in oiled 2 qt. microwavable dish; top with half each of sauce and cheese. Repeat layers ending with cheese; cover.
Microwave on high 8-10 min. or until heated through, rotating dish halfway through cooking time.

Freezes and microwaves well, so double the recipe and save yourself time later!
