Ingredients

• 16 oz cheese tortellini
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup, crumbled feta cheese
• 0.5 cup slivered almonds
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 2

While the tortellini cools, prepare the dressing by whisking together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 3

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, fresh blueberries, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes (halved, if necessary), feta cheese, and slivered almonds.

Step 4

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
