How to Make Tortellini And Prosciutto Salad

  1. Cook 1 pound of cheese tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
  2. While the tortellini cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until a smooth emulsion forms. Set aside.
  4. Dice 4 ounces of prosciutto into roughly 1/2-inch pieces. (Note: Use thicker-cut prosciutto for best results)
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, diced prosciutto, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (drained), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Gently toss to combine.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss again to coat evenly.
  8. Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
