Makes: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 16 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 al fresco All Natural Sundried Tomato Chicken Sausage
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- ¾ cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ⅓ cup kalamata olives halved
- ⅓ cup feta cheese, cubed
- ¼ cup sundried tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp chopped mint
- Lemon Dressing (recipe below)
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Lemon Dressing
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add tortellini. Cook according to package directions, drain, rinse with cold water, and place in a large serving bowl.
- While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large sauté pan to medium heat and add chicken sausages. Cook 7-9 minutes, rotating frequently, until golden brown on all sides. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees. Remove sausages to plate. Once cool to the touch, place on cutting board and slice.
- Add diced cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, halved kalamata olives, cubed feta cheese, sundried tomatoes, and mint to the bowl with the tortellini. Add sliced chicken sausage.
- Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and toss. Add salt and pepper and top with lemon zest.
Lemon Dressing
- In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, and honey. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, while continuing to whisk. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can grill your chicken sausage instead of sautéing them. Grill over medium-low heat for about 7-9 minutes until golden brown all over.
