Ingredients
- 10 oz Vegan tortellini (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Cucumber, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the vegan tortellini according to the package instructions or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and chopped basil.
Step 3
In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
Step 4
Add the cooked tortellini to the mixing bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Step 5
Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Step 6
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir again before serving if chilled.
