Easy Weeknight Tortellini Salad with Mason Jar Pesto
10 mins prepServes 4
Nothing beats an easy weeknight dinner that can be thrown together in less than 20 minutes and then saved for lunch the next day. This tortellini salad is customizable and best served over a handful of greens.
Cook the tortellini according to package instructions. While the tortellini cooks, prepare the pesto: In a mason jar, combine the fresh basil (chopped), the juice of 1 lemon, 1/3 cup olive oil, and salt to taste. Shake the jar vigorously until the pesto ingredients are well combined. Once the tortellini is cooked and drained, add it to a large bowl along with the chopped mini sweet peppers and mozzarella pearls. Pour the prepared pesto over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until well coated. Serve immediately over a handful of greens, or save for lunch the next day.
