Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cheese tortellini
- 150 grams Smoked salmon
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 100 grams Mixed salad greens
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool them down quickly. Set aside.
While the tortellini is cooking, slice the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Set the prepared vegetables aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled tortellini, smoked salmon, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and mixed salad greens.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, then toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving.
