Ingredients

• 20 ounces cheese tortellini, cooked
• 1 ½ cup cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1 cup corn
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• ½ cup chopped fresh herbs, like basil, parsley and chives
• pesto vinaigrette
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed
• 2 tablespoons pesto
• 1 teaspoon honey
• kosher salt and pepper
• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

• Whisk together the vinegar, garlic, pesto, honey and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and place it in a large bowl, tossing it with a spray of olive oil so it doesn’t stick.
• Add in the chicken, tomatoes, corn, green onions and herbs. Drizzle with half of the dressing and toss well.
• Drizzle with the remaining dressing and toss again. Serve!
