Basil Pesto Tortellini Salad

We are all looking for quick dishes to make at home but at the same time want to be eating healthy recipes, right? If you’ve been following my healthy recipes lately, you know I have become a bit obsessed about salad. That’s because my husband for one, has been requesting them. But also, they are so easy to make and you don’t have to have all of the exact ingredients or amounts for it to be absolutely delicious.

Also, salads are so easy to doctor up or down depending on what’s in your kitchen and then there is instant food waiting for you in the refrigerator.

If you have fresh basil growing at your house you can make homemade pesto. My sister-in-law makes fun of me because I am not a real outdoorsy person, but I do like container gardening and growing my herbs right outside my front door for easy picking. Check out these easy tips for growing basil!
