Tortellini Salad

A while ago when some friends had a baby I took this salad to them for supper one night. She asked me for the recipe so I thought I would just put it here to share. So here ya go Steph.

Tortellini Salad

2 12 oz pkg Cheese Tortellini cooked, drained, and cooled
1 11 oz pkg cherry tomatoes cute in half
1 16 oz can black olives cut in half
2-3 big hand fulls of fresh baby spinach

Dressing:
Whisk together
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1Tbsp dried Basil
1 tsp sugar
dash of salt and pepper

After pasta is cooled combine ingredients. Add fresh baby spinach right before serving.
*To make this a main dish I add cut up baked or grilled chicken breast.
