Ingredients
Preparation
Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees so it is nice and hot while we prepare the tortellini.
Mix the raw tortellini in a bowl with the olive oil and paprika powder until they are well coated.
Place the seasoned tortellini into the air fryer basket and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until they have a golden brown and crispy surface.
While the little pasta pockets are crisping up, halve the cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella. Wash the arugula and basil thoroughly and pat them dry carefully.
For the dressing, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper in a small bowl.
When the tortellini are done, put them directly into a salad bowl and mix with the remaining vegetables and mozzarella.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss carefully so the tortellini retain their great crunch. Best served and enjoyed immediately!
