Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup canola oil
2 tbsp oriental sesame oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp tamari soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
1 lb frozen cheese tortellini
1 yellow bell pepper , cut into thin strips
1 tomato, cut into small cubes
1/3 cup red onion , slivered
2 tsp sesame seeds
4 cups fresh spinach , torn into small pieces, washed and spun dry

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients for the sesame dressing in a screw-top jar and shake vigorously. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in the tortellini and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain in a colander. Run cold water over the tortellini until they are cold, then drain again very well. Pour into a large serving bowl.
Stir in the pepper, tomato, and onion, then pour on half of the sesame dressing and toss well. Let marinate at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours. Cover and chill if longer than 1 hour. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Place the sesame seeds in a dry, small saucepan and toast them over medium heat until they begin to pop and smoke slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour into a little dish and let cool.
Just before serving, stir the spinach into the tortellini mixture. Pour on the remaining dressing and toss well. Sprinkle on the sesame seeds and toss again.
