Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Cheese tortellini
  • 1 pint Grape tomatoes, halved
  • 3 oz Salami, chopped
  • 1 cup Black olives, sliced
  • ⅓ cup Red onion, diced
  • ¼ cup Fresh basil, chopped
  • ¼ cup Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • To taste Salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package directions. After cooking, drain the tortellini and rinse with cold water to chill it quickly.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until the dressing is well combined and creamy.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the cooked tortellini, halved grape tomatoes, chopped salami, sliced black olives, diced red onion, and chopped fresh basil. Ensure everything is evenly mixed.
  • Pour the prepared dressing over the tortellini mixture. Toss gently to combine, ensuring that all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
  • Cover the bowl and store the salad in the fridge until you are ready to serve. This allows the flavors to develop further.

Notes

  • Chill the tortellini after cooking to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to adjust the dressing according to your taste.
  • Consider adding more vegetables for an extra crunch and nutrition.
