2 packages (1 pound) Nuovo Pasta tortellini, cooked according to package's instructions + a drizzle of an olive oil

1.5 cups rainbow cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup kale, chopped

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 ripe peach, cubed

salt and black pepper, to taste

1/3 cup organic corn

1 tsp oil of choice

salt, to taste

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 tsp male syrup

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

black pepper, to taste

Cook the tortellini according to package's instructions. Once cooked, dry and rinse with a cold water. Drizzle with an olive oil and lightly coat the tortellini (to prevent from sticking). Let it cool.
On a small pan, preheat an oil. Add corn along with salt. Cook until corn is golden and beginning to brown (around 5 minutes).
For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a jar and shake well. Set aside.
In a large bowl, place tortellini, halved rainbow cherry tomatoes, chopped kale, onion and cubed peach.
Pour desired amount of dressing over the top, then toss to combine.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to one day.
