- 1 lb fresh tortellini pasta
- 1/3 cup red onion sliced
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup mixed olives in oil
- 1/2 cup cucumber quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella chunks
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 handful fresh basil chopped
- 1 pinch sea salt and pepper to taste
Cook tortellini according to package instructions. I recommend cooking for 1-2 minutes less than recommended, so the tortellini can hold their shape better and the dish will last longer.
Meanwhile chop the onion, tomatoes, cucumber, olive and mozzarella cheese and add to a large bowl.
In a small glass bowl mix in the oil dressing with fresh basil and salt and pepper to taste.
When tortellini is done cooking and cooled a bit, add to the bowl along with oil dressing and fold to combine.
Serve at room temperature or cold. Leftovers can be refrigerated and will taste amazing for up to 3 days!
