Equipment

  • 1 pot large enough to boil the tortellinis in
  • 1 cooking spoon to stir the tortellini
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 sheet of parchment paper
  • 1 bowl large enough for the entire salad
  • 1 pair of salad spoons to serve the salad with

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic baby red butter lettuce and arugula
  • 1 cup organic baby spinach
  • 3 cups tortellini cooked
  • 1-2 cups sweet potato roasted
  • 1/2 cup red onion sliced
  • 3/4 cup vegan feta
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

dressing

  • 1/3 cup pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp dijon
  • dash of pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp water to thin the dressing

Instructions

  • Cook the tortellini according to the package.
  • Cube and roast the sweet potato at 400F for 30 minutes.
  • Slice the red onion.
  • Start assembling the salad by adding in the red butter lettuce + arugula and baby spinach to a large salad bowl.
  • Add in the tortellini and cooked sweet potato to the large salad bowl.
  • Then, add the red onion, feta, dried cherries, and pumpkin seeds.
  • In a mason jar or something similar, make the dressing by mixing all of the dressing ingredients together.
  • Pour the dressing on the salad and mix and enjoy!

Notes

  • Buy dried cherries that do not have added sugar. If you are having trouble finding cherries, you could substitute dried cranberries or blueberries.
  • Make the tortellini and sweet potatoes ahead of time so they have enough time to cool before adding to the salad.
  • If meal prepping, keep the dressing in an airtight container and add the dressing each day to the individual portion.
