Tortellini Salad
Hello!
I present to you a definite new favorite at home. I was in the mood for a pasta salad and came across some almond cheese tortellini in the supermarket. In less than 15 min I whipped up this salad with super simple ingredients that I always have at home and the result was amazing.
I am enjoying every last bit of my “summer salads” while summer’s still here. When the fall gets closer we will be moving on to new seasonal ingredients & start cooking some broths, soups, and more comfy food!
Note! Remember there are step by step videos of how I make my recipes in my Instagram stories.
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 9oz Tortellini pack
1 cup spinach
1 cup arugula
1 red bell pepper
1/2 cup cherry tomato, halved
1/4 cup fresh mozzarella mini balls
1/4 cup prosciutto
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Vinaigrette
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
3/4 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tbsp old style whole grain mustard
1/2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp water (optional, to thin out)
Directions:
Cook Tortellini in about 4 quarts of water for 2 - 4 min. Then drain, let cool.
In a bowl, mix spinach, arugula, bell pepper, cherry tomato, mozzarella and prosciutto. When tortellini is cold, add and mix.
In a small bowl, mix all vinaigrette ingredients and whisk until incorporated. Optional to add a little bit of water to thin out since the whole grain mustard acts as a thickener.
Serve and garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy.
Much Love,
Mariana.
