Cooking Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a jar, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake for 30 seconds until emulsified.
- Place the cooled tortellini in a large mixing bowl and drizzle half of the dressing over it. Toss gently to coat and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, mozzarella, salami/pepperoni (if using), Parmesan, spinach, and basil to the tortellini. Toss gently to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more dressing before serving.
- Toss again before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnishing with extra basil and Parmesan.
