This easy tortellini salad is the only pasta salad we bring to potlucks. It's quick and simple with an easy homemade vinaigrette that will make it stand out among a sea of macaroni salads.

Can I swap a few things out?

Absolutely! Swap the sun-dried tomatoes for fresh cherry tomatoes, use kale instead of spinach or bacon instead of salami, and replace the Parmesan with Pecorino or mozzarella. It's easily customizable!

How do I make the vinaigrette?

We love this dressing and making your own is very easy. The easiest way is to add all of your ingredients - vinegar, oil, seasonings - to a mason jar and shake, shake, shake until it's all combined. Super simple!

Can I make this ahead of time?

This salad is great to make ahead of time. It can be assembled and held at room temp for up to 2 hours or stored in the refrigerator overnight. If making the day before, we recommend waiting to add the spinach until ready to serve.
