Some people run for therapy. Some people paint. Some people see a therapist. Some people do all three. Me? I chop pretty things up into tiny pieces. And then arrange them imperfectly perfect on top of freshly cooked tortellini. Well, hello there gorgeous.
I’m not quite sure what it is about it that soothes me, but I know I’m happier because of it. Maybe it’s that I get to play with a knife. Maybe it’s the pretty colors. Maybe it’s that I get to serve a pretty chopped tortellini salad to people I love.
Whatever it is, it works. And so does this chopped tortellini salad recipe. Full of fresh vegetables, pasta, and drama as just before serving you get to mix it all together in a whirl of motion. Bam – perfect Memorial Day side, done.
