Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and cool the pasta.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic. Whisk well until the dressing is silky and smooth.

While the tortellini cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell pepper and cucumber, chop the red onion, and slice the olives. Tear or chop the basil and parsley finely.

In a large bowl, toss the cooled tortellini with the tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, onion, olives, basil, parsley, and mozzarella. Pour the dressing on top.

Gently toss everything until evenly coated. Taste and season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to marry beautifully.
