I chose a few recipes to make from Super Natural Every Day this week and bought all the ingredients - now I'm committed to making them! First up this week was the Tortellini Salad, with crisp broccoli and asparagus, creamy avocado, a lemony-garlicky dressing, the bright flavor of cilantro, and crunchy toasted almonds. It's served at room temperature, which is perfect for warmer weather. It wouldn't be too difficult to vary the vegetables, and I could even see doing a grilled version - grilled asparagus or zucchini instead of quickly cooking it in the pasta water - even leftover grilled vegetables would work well here. We used an asiago-ricotta tortelloni (they're bigger than the little tortellini) which brought a great saltiness that tied the outside of the pasta to the inside. I'd like to try tortellini next time, since it would more closely match the size of the cut vegetables. I can't wait to get deeper into this book - so far I'm very pleased with the recipes I've made.
