Tortellini Pasta Salad!! with arugula, tomatoes, red onion, banana peppers, torn mozzarella, and a vinaigrette!
I actually intended to make this recipe with basil, but it had gone bad 😩 I ended up using arugula instead and actually really liked it — but you can always do both 🌱
RECIPE (serves 3-4)
18 oz tortellini
1 pint cherry/grape tomatoes
⅔ cup red onion
1 ½ cups arugula
4 oz mozzarella
⅓ cup banana peppers
Dressing
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp honey
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp salt
Prepare tortellini according to package and let cool. Add to a big bowl along with rest of ingredients. Whisk together dressing in a small bowl, add to salad, and season with salt, pepper, and crush red pepper. Serve room temp or chilled!
