1 pound frozen tortellini
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 ear steamed or boiled corn, kernels sliced off the cob
1 tomato, halved, seeds squeezed out, flesh sliced into strips
1/2 medium cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeds scooped out, sliced into strips
1/2 small red onion, diced or thinly sliced
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2/3 cup canola or olive oil or a combination
salt and pepper to taste
crumbled goat cheese to garnish

1
Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually until they float. Drain, rinse, and allow to cool while preparing the other ingredients.
2
In a small food processor (or whisk by hand in a large serving bowl), combine the vinegar and Dijon mustard. Process for 15 seconds until creamy, or whisk vigorously. Add the oil while the food processor is running to create a smooth emulsion, or dribble slowly into the bowl while whisking constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Combine the vegetables and dressing in a salad bowl. Add the tortellini and toss gently to coat. Season to taste, and serve with goat cheese crumbled on top.
