The original recipe called for spring peas, but I prefer the edamame.

ingredients

Dressing:
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
4tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tsp spicy brown or Dijon mustard
1/2 squeezed lemon or more to taste
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salad:
3 (9 oz packages) fresh tortellini (see note)
1/4 lb cooked shrimp, chopped bite size
1 carton grape tomatoes, chopped
1/2 pkg already shelled, frozen edamame
1 small shallot, minced
1 large can sliced black olives

directions

1
Whisk together the dressing and set aside.
2
Cook the tortellini according to directions and drain. Cook the edamame according to directions in microwave. Put tortellini in a large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Pour the dressing over, stir and refrigerate. Stir again before serving.

notes

I buy 3 different kinds of tortellini for a variety of colors and flavors. You can usually find this in the refrigerated cheese section. Edamame is with the frozen vegetables.
