15 minutes of your time is all that’s needed to get this quick and delicious fresh salad on the table. I started with dried cheese tortellini and cooked it according to package directions.

Then I added grape tomatoes sauteed with a little oil and garlic. When both are cooked combine and toss with parmesan and mozzarella balls. Add a little more oil and season with salt and pepper. This couldn’t be easier! Serve right away or at room temperature.
