Ingredients
Preparation
First, preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees so the tortellini become nice and crispy later.
Place the tortellini in a bowl and mix with the olive oil and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
Now put the tortellini in the air fryer for about 8 to 10 minutes until they are golden brown and wonderfully crispy – it smells almost as good as fish food!
While the pasta is roasting, halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the mini cucumber.
For the dressing, stir the Greek yogurt with the lemon juice, a little salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Finely chop the fresh basil and fold it into the dressing.
Finally, let the crispy tortellini cool briefly, then mix with the vegetables and the dressing. Enjoy your meal!
