How to Make Tortellini Salad With Fresh Herb Tomato Vinaigrette
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
- While the tortellini cooks, prepare the vinaigrette. In a large nonreactive bowl, whisk together the diced tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, parsley, minced shallots, lemon juice, and 1 1/4 cups of the olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Once the tortellini is completely cool, gently toss it with the tomato vinaigrette, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- To assemble the salad, arrange overlapping slices of fresh mozzarella around the perimeter of a large serving platter.
- Spoon the tortellini salad into the center of the platter.
- Scatter the arugula leaves over the top of the salad.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salad.
- If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
