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
- ½ cup red onion sliced
- ¾ cup vegan feta
- ¼ cup dried cherries

dressing
- ⅓ cup pumpkin
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon dijon
- dash of pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon 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.

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.
