What Makes This Recipe So Good

This salad combines creamy, tangy cheese with savory prosciutto for a perfect balance of flavors. It’s quick to prepare and makes a refreshing meal that feels both light and satisfying. The mix of textures from the tender tortellini and crisp greens keeps every bite interesting.

Chef's Cooking Tips

- Cook the tortellini just until al dente to avoid mushiness in the salad.
- Use fresh greens like arugula or spinach for added flavor and crunch.
- Toss the salad gently to keep the delicate ingredients intact.

Step 1

Slic the prosciutto into thin strips about an inch long and a quarter inch wide. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the tortellini. Give them a stir and cook uncovered until they float to the top and feel hot in the center, which should take about 3 minutes. Drain the tortellini and rinse them under cold water to stop them from cooking any further.

Step 2

Combine the olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, chopped basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a jar. Put the lid on and give it a good shake until everything is well mixed and slightly thickened.

Step 3

In a big bowl, toss together the cooled tortellini, prosciutto strips, crumbled Gorgonzola, sliced bell peppers, and thinly sliced onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together with a couple of large spoons. You can dig in right away or pop it in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors really come together.

Serving Ideas

Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best taste. This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine or a sparkling water with lemon. Adding toasted pine nuts or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can elevate the flavors even more.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To keep the salad fresh, add any dressing just before serving rather than mixing it in ahead of time. If the pasta absorbs too much dressing, a splash of olive oil can help refresh the salad.
