Instructions
- Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions, typically taking about 2–4 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and black olives into bite-sized pieces. Toss these in a large mixing bowl.
- Once cooled, add the tortellini to the vegetables, crumble feta cheese over the mixture, and toss gently.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper. Ensure a smooth consistency.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat the ingredients without crushing the tortellini.
- Garnish the salad with torn basil leaves, and serve immediately or let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
