Summer Tortellini Salad

1 package (9 ounces) uncooked refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
4 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/2 cup fat-free ranch salad dressing
2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain and rinse under cold running water. Place pasta in large colander bowl and set aside.

Meanwhile, slice zucchini, chop carrot, cut cherry tomatoes in half, thinly slice green onions and snip parsley.

Add vegetables to tortellini. Pour salad dressing over salad. Grate Parmesan cheese over salad; mix gently. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
