Steps:
- Bring 5 or 6 inches of water to a boil in a large pot. Salt boiling water and add pasta. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until pasta is just tender and the tortellini are floating like buoys. Drain tortellini, then cool the cooked pasta by spreading them out on a large plate or a cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Coarsely chop baby spinach. Combine with artichoke pieces, roasted red pepper and red onion. Chop garlic, then add salt to it and mash it into a paste with the flat of your knife. Transfer garlic paste to a small bowl and add lemon zest, lemon juice and vinegar to it. Whisk in oil, thyme and pepper. Add pasta and sun-dried tomatoes to the salad. Dress salad and gently toss. Serve or refrigerate.
ROASTED ARTICHOKE SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the artichoke hearts in a bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss until the artichoke hearts are coated. Dump the artichoke hearts onto a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer; roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. Place the minced shallot, lemon juice, mustard, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 5 seconds. Add the basil leaves and process into a green puree. With the processor running, slowly pour 1/2 cup olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube until the ingredients are finely pureed. Set aside.
- Place the roasted artichoke hearts in a bowl and toss with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Add the capers, red peppers, red onion, parsley, 4 tablespoons vinegar and red pepper flakes, if using, and toss gently. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and let stand for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tender tortellini.
- Don't overcook the tortellini: Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked tortellini will become mushy and ruin the texture of the salad.
- Roast the red peppers yourself: Roasting red peppers at home is easy and gives them a smoky, delicious flavor. If you don't have time, you can use jarred roasted red peppers, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Use a light vinaigrette dressing: A light vinaigrette dressing will allow the flavors of the salad to shine through. Avoid using a heavy, creamy dressing, which will overpower the other ingredients.
- Serve the salad immediately: Tortellini salad is best served immediately after it's made. The tortellini will absorb the dressing and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Tortellini salad with shrimp, artichokes, and roasted red peppers is a delicious and refreshing dish that's perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a salad that's sure to impress your friends and family.
