Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz cheese tortellini
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup, crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
While the tortellini cools, prepare the dressing by whisking together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, fresh blueberries, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes (halved, if necessary), feta cheese, and slivered almonds.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
