INSTRUCTIONS
Cook the tortellini: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 4 oz tortellini and cook according to package instructions (ours took 7 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and leave to cool.

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tbsp honey, 1/4 tsp dried basil, 1/4 tsp traditional Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients (2 oz green bell pepper, 4 oz cherry tomato, 1 oz red onion, 0.5 oz coriander, 3 oz cucumber). Drizzle the dressing.

Toss to coat evenly.

Serve: You can eat it right away or put it in the fridge for 10 minutes to let it cool before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of 0.25 oz grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy.
