While pasta salads tend to be something you make more in the summer months, I enjoy them all year round. I am always on the lookout for new pasta salad recipes. I wanted to find a recipe for tortellini salad because I remember having one when I worked in catering, and it was so good. They really are not hard to find as I discovered. There were tons of recipes out there and this is one I found on the internet back in the summer. I have made it several times since and it is always delicious. I hope you enjoy it!
Tortellini Salad
24 oz cheese tortellini
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 Tbsp green onion, sliced
3-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp Dijon or whole grain mustard
1 cup canola oil
Make your dressing first. Put lemon juice, vinegar, green onion, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar and mustard into a blender. Blend on high. While blending, slowly add the oil in a steady stream. Refrigerate.
Cook pasta according to directions. Combine onions, tomatoes and cucumber in a large bowl. Once pasta is cooked and cooled, toss with vegetables. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Chill for at least one hour prior to serving.
Enjoy!
