This is SO tasty and easy - just discovered it a couple of weeks ago and I’ve already made it twice. I like that I can make it ahead and have a yummy, filling but light summer dinner.

My family enjoyed this summer dinner recipe. I used spinach &amp; cheese ravioli because I had it on hand and it was great. I also added some black olives &amp; mushrooms. Some of us added a few dashes of raspberry vinaigrette which added a bit of a fruity tang. I will share this recipe with friends.

Im not sure if I liked the grape seed oil so I  added  more olive oil and it tasted fine

Easy and tasty summer salad.  I didn't have any fresh basil and used Italian dressing, grape tomatoes and ended up with frozen tortellini (on a pick up grocery order) and it was still excellent.  Thanks for posting!

This salad was a huge hit at our family reunion--no leftovers to be had.  I didn't have grapeseed oil so substituted avocado oil and salted before serving.  Can't wait to make again!

This vegetarian tortellini salad recipe features cheesy spinach tortellini tossed in healthy homemade green goddess dressing, layered across a platter with lemony fresh greens and seasoned vegetables. Recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.

Green Goddess Tortellini Salad

Green Goddess Dressing

(8 to 10 ounces each) spinach or cheese tortellini

salt, more to taste

spring vegetables*

baby arugula

lemon juice

Lemon zest

Flaky sea salt, to taste (optional)

Fill a large pot with water and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring it to a boil over high heat. (If you will be blanching any vegetables, fill a large bowl with ice and water, and set it aside.)

Meanwhile, prepare the dressing, and set it aside. 

Once the water is boiling, cook the tortellini according to package directions. If you’re using fresh vegetables, you can go ahead and strain the tortellini as usual. 

If you will be blanching any vegetables, reuse the boiling water—just use a slotted spoon to transfer the tortellini to a strainer and set them aside. Add the veggies to the boiling water and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until they are easy to pierce through with a fork. Strain the vegetables, then immediately dunk them into the ice bath to cool. After about 5 minutes, remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and drain them well. 

Rinse the warm tortellini well under cool running water and set them aside. 

In a bowl, combine the prepared vegetables (blanched or fresh), arugula, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir to combine, and season with salt liberally, to taste. Set aside.

In the cooking pot, combine the cooked tortellini and all of the dressing. Gently stir until evenly coated. 

To assemble, pour half of the dressed tortellini off-center onto a large serving platter. Gently pile about half of the arugula mixture on top and to the side of the noodles. Repeat with the remaining tortellini, followed by the remaining arugula mixture. Finely grate some fresh lemon zest over the dish (about 1/4th of a medium lemon’s worth). Finish it with a light sprinkle of flaky salt, if you have it.

Serve promptly, or refrigerate for later. This dish is best consumed within 2 hours, though it will keep well for up to 4 days.
