The first step to making this dish is to cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. While the water is boiling and the tortellini is cooking, prep and chop all other ingredients and set aside.

Once the tortellini is cooked, strain the water and then rinse with cool water briefly. Next, combine tortellini, spinach, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and garlic in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil and balsamic vinegar before adding Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss the salad well to combine.

Chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, toss well to redistribute the olive oil that is on the bottom of the bowl. Add more olive oil if it seems too dry. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or get-together. You may want to double up! Get the full ingredient list and step-by-step instructions below!
