this is the easiest salad you could ever make, i’m pretty sure. i’ve never seen a recipe for it, but this is my version. my mom likes it with penne pasta, thinly sliced red onion, minced garlic and really juicy tomatoes. try it both ways!
1 pkg frozen or fresh cheese tortellini
1 ball fresh mozzarella
About 20 leaves of fresh basil
½ pkg grape tomatoes (or 2-3 roma tomatoes, preferably from the vine)
Good Italian or Caesar dressing, or drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Cook the pasta, drain and cool. (I just rinse under cold water). Dice the mozzarella, halve the tomatoes, or dice roma tomatoes. Thinly slice basil. Toss together with a light coating of dressing. Serve cold or at room temperature.
TIP: To slice basil leaves- stack basil leaves on top of each other and roll. Then slice with a sharp knife to avoid bruising the basil.
