Tortellini Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze

This Tortellini Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze is a delightful dish that brings together the flavours of traditional Caprese salad with the addition of cooked tortellini. The cheese-filled tortellini provides a satisfying and hearty element to the salad, while the mini bocconcini, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, spinach, garlic, and shallot add a burst of freshness and vibrant colours. The salad is seasoned with dried oregano, salt, and pepper, and the balsamic glaze drizzled over the salad adds a tangy and slightly sweet note, complementing the other ingredients perfectly. This recipe is a fantastic option for a quick and delicious summer salad that can be enjoyed as a light meal or as a side dish for gatherings and barbecues.

  • Once the tortellini has cooled down, add it to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle the minced garlic, finely chopped shallot, dried oregano, salt, and pepper followed by the mini bocconcini over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Just before serving, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad. You can adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
  • Transfer the Tortellini Caprese Salad to a serving dish or individual plates. You can garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired. Enjoy! :)
