Ingredients
Salad
- 4 wide mouth mason jars with lids
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, washed and halved
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 large orange bell pepper, diced
- 1 lb. tortellini, cooked
- 4 cups butter leaf lettuce, washed and patted dry (or lettuce of choice)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (or mini mozzarella balls)
- salt and pepper to taste
Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2-3 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pasta: Cook tortellini according to package directions, drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Dressing: Shake all salad dressing ingredients in a sealed mason jar or bottle until combined. Taste and adjust (you can add a little honey for a sweeter dressing, if desired).
- Build your mason jars: Step 1: Divide the dressing in the bottom of the jars first. I like to use a wide mouth mason jar. Pouring the dressing in first helps prevent the lettuce from getting soggy and when you pour the salad into a bowl, the dressing coats everything in the salad.
- Step 2: Place the halved cherry tomatoes right on top of the dressing.
- Step 3: Place the cooked tortellini on top of tomatoes and then layer the next 3 ingredients in really any order you’d like: orange bell pepper, feta cheese, and red onion.
- Step 4: Gently tear the butter leaf lettuce (or lettuce of choice) and place on top! Put the lid on, and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
- Invert mason jar salad contents onto a plate and dig in!
Notes
- You may have leftover tortellini depending on how much you layer in your jars. I repurpose by making more salads or eating with meat sauce and a veggie!
- Storage: refrigerate mason jar salads for up to 4-5 days.
