Ham Tortellini Caesar Salad

Here's an idea for using leftover Christmas ham:
You could substitute green beans or asparagus for the broccoli if you'd like.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
16 oz. package frozen cheese tortellini
1-1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1-1/2 cups cubed cooked ham
1 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
10 oz. pkg. romaine lettuce leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
Cook tortellini and broccoli together according to tortellini package directions. The frozen tortellini I use cooks for 3 minutes. If your tortellini cooks for a longer period of time, add the broccoli during the last 3 minutes of cooking time.
Drain well and combine with ham and Caesar salad dressing in medium bowl. Place lettuce on large platter and top with tortellini mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve. 4 servings
