Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, grated Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, honey, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk until emulsified, then set aside.
- Fill a pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Add sliced asparagus and blanch for 2 minutes. Quickly add frozen peas for the last 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath.
- In the same pot, add cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large bowl, toss tortellini with half of the dressing. Add blanched asparagus, peas, arugula, artichoke hearts, green onions, and basil. Mix until coated.
- Drizzle remaining dressing over salad, tossing gently. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Transfer salad to a serving platter, sprinkle with additional Parmesan and optional pine nuts or basil. Serve chilled.
