Instructions
- Cook the tortellini pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions (about 5 to 7 minutes). Drain and rinse in cold water.
- Transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Add the rest of the salad ingredients and toss gently.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, and herbs. Add a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss to combine.
- For best flavor, allow the salad to rest for 30 minutes or so for the flavors to meld before serving. Transfer to a platter and serve.
Notes
- Serving a smaller party? This tortellini salad recipe will serve a small crowd of 8 people, and leftovers are great the next day. However, you can cut the recipe in half to serve 4.
- Leftovers & storage: store the prepared salad in a tight-lid container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop, but after a couple of days, the veggies may welt and get soggy, so I recommend enjoying the salad as soon as you can.
