1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or 2 tsp dried basil) |
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 green onion, chopped |
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced on the diagonal |
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini as directed on package.
2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Mix remaining ingredients in a medium bowl.
4. Add tortellini and toss until well combined.
5. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
6. Toss again before serving with additional parmesan cheese.
