A delightful and easy-to-make salad combining the flavors of tuna, tortellini, and fresh vegetables, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
Cook the tortellini in a saucepan of boiling salted water until tender. Drain and let it cool.
Stir the tortellini occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
In a salad bowl, combine the cooled tortellini, tuna, red bell pepper, and spinach.
Ensure the tortellini is completely cooled to avoid wilting the spinach.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Taste the dressing before adding to adjust the seasoning as needed.
Sprinkle the grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese on top before serving.
For a more robust flavor, use freshly grated cheese.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy your meal.
Pair the salad with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
