Of course the tortellini isn't from the farm. 😆
We are drowning in produce from our local farm CSA, though I did snag a green pepper from my small garden (the pests are taking it over instead). I needed to use some up instead of sacrificing it to the compost gods (they'll get the scraps this time.)
I cooked the tortellini first and let it cool off while I chopped the veggies:
Cherry tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, green pepper, cucumber, carrots, and a shallot. Plus from my pantry: olive oil, red wine vinegar, powdered garlic, salt, pepper and a little dried basil. The pantry items were to taste that I added and then stirred to see if I needed any more.
It's currently marinating in the fridge.

Looks tasty. Dried oregano is usually nice as well. Makes it kind of Mediterranean.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. That looks so refreshing for a hot summer meal!
