Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb frozen or fresh cheese tortellini
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 ear steamed or boiled corn , kernels sliced off the cob
1 tomato, halved , seeds squeezed out, flesh sliced into strips or can use grape tomatoes that have been halved
1/2 medium cucumber , halved lengthwise, seeds scooped out, sliced into strips
1/2 small red onion, small diced or thinly sliced
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2/3 cup canola or olive oil or a combination of the two
salt and pepper to taste
crumbled goat cheese to garnish
chicken, cooked and shredded , or shrimp, cooked ( roasted/grilled/boiled) , optional, but either would make this a hearty meal

Directions:

Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually until they float. Drain, rinse, and allow to cool while preparing the other ingredients.
In a small food processor (or whisk by hand in a large serving bowl), combine the vinegar and Dijon mustard. Process for 15 seconds until creamy, or whisk vigorously. Add the oil while the food processor is running to create a smooth emulsion, or dribble slowly into the bowl while whisking constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Combine the vegetables and dressing in a salad bowl. Add the tortellini and toss gently to coat. If using, add the Chicken or Shrimp and toss gently to coat. Season to taste, and serve with goat cheese crumbled on top.
