Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until tender yet firm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, drain the tortellini in a colander and rinse under cold running water for about 30 seconds to halt the cooking process.
- Transfer the cooled tortellini to a large mixing bowl. Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, mozzarella pearls, arugula, spinach, and black olives.
- Drizzle basil pesto over the tortellini and vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Taste your salad and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, mixing well.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
