Cheese Tortellini Peach Salad
Cheese Tortellini Peach Salad
Directions
- In a blender, combine the white wine, sugar, basil, thyme, garlic, kosher salt and black pepper.
- Process on medium-high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. With the speed reduced to medium-low, add canola and olive oil in a steady stream. Process until smooth and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain cooked tortellini and rinse with cold water. Shake dry and place in mixing bowl.
- Toss tortellini with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent it from sticking.
- Peel the peaches and cut into chunks slightly smaller than the tortellini.
- Add the peaches, parsley, pecans and raisins to the bowl - add the dressing and toss the salad to combine.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap against the salad to help keep the peaches from browning. Refrigerate for a few hours; remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.
