10 oz cherry tomatoes, halved 🍅
8 oz Mozzarella pearls 🧀
1 cup chopped spinach 🥬
1/4 cup chopped basil 🌿
1/2 cup olive oil 🫒
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 🧴
34 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning 🌿
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper 🧂

Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. 🍝

2️⃣ While the tortellini cooks, prep and chop all other ingredients and set aside. 🍅🧀🥬

3️⃣ When the tortellini is cooked al dente, strain the water and rinse with cool water for a few seconds to cool it slightly. 🍲

4️⃣ Add the tortellini to a medium to large bowl. 🥣

6️⃣ Pour over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss the salad well to combine. 🫒🧴🌿🧂

7️⃣ Chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, toss well to redistribute the olive oil that is on the bottom of the bowl. Add more olive oil if it seems too dry. 🌬️🫒
