Preparation
- Cook the tortellini in a large pot of salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a large bowl.
Make the Dressing
- In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Shake well until emulsified.
Combine Ingredients
- Pour half of the dressing over the warm tortellini and toss gently to coat. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Toss in the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, mozzarella, salami, Parmesan, spinach, and basil. Pour in the remaining dressing and gently combine.
Refrigerate and Serve
- Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Toss again and taste for seasoning before serving; adjust with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed.
- Garnish with extra fresh basil and Parmesan if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
This pasta salad can be customized with your choice of vegetables. It stores well in the fridge for 3–5 days. It’s best when made a day ahead as flavors develop.
