How to Make Grilled Veggie Tortellini Salad

1. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large zip-top bag, combine the sliced red onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
3. Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated vegetables for 2-3 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred.
4. While the vegetables are grilling, prepare the dressing: In a blender, combine the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil (in addition to what was used for marinating), and dried rosemary. Blend until smooth.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, grilled vegetables, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
7. Serve immediately at room temperature or chill for later. Add more olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste if desired.
