Tortellini Salad Primavera

"From Quick Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeannie Lemlin. It turned into a nicely exotic salad with common ingredients. I use Gnocci [sweet potato] instead of the Tortellini tonight and it was wonderful. Also tweaked the lemon juice to Rose's Lime. Again wonderful. Feel free to play with the veggies and use what is in season for the best brightest taste"

directions

  • In a large stock pot, blanch the aspargus, carrot, and broccoli [and peas if using fresh] for a minute then drop into ice water and pat dry.
  • Blanch the squash or zucchini for 30 seconds and remove, drop into ice water and pat dry.
  • Place the vegetables in a serving bowl. Add the tomato, peas, celery, scallions, pine nuts and dill.
  • Cook the tortellini or the Gnocci according to package directions. Drain in colander, run cold water over it. Drain again very well and stir into the veggies.
  • Make the dressing. Combine all the ingredients in a jar with a screw top. Shake well. You can make this 8 hours in advance. Pour over salad and chill. If omitting olive oil to reduce fat, toss the salad gently before serving.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me. If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer. I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story. Sigh..
