TOMATO, MOZZERELLA & TORTELLINI SALAD

1 bag mixed greens
¾ cup cherry tomatoes
1 container fresh mozzarella balls
1 ½ cups cheese tortellini
¾ cup asparagus (cooked al dente)
Zesty Italian Dressing packet
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil

If fresh mozzarella is not available in bite-sized balls, you can use larger fresh mozzarella and cut to bite-sized pieces. Cook cheese tortellini according to package directions then rinse with cold water. Blanch asparagus – or slightly boil until still crispy then cool. Mix the Zesty Italian Dressing packet according to directions replacing vinegar with balsamic vinegar. All ingredients should be cold before mixing. Combine and toss before serving.
