Tortellini Salad
  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Start the salad: Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil; stir in the tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the tortellini cook, make the dressing: Whisk the oil, both vinegars, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

  4. 4

    Finish the salad: Drain the tortellini, then rinse with cold water and drain again. Transfer to a large bowl and add the artichoke hearts, mozzarella, pepperoni, olives, and green onions.

  5. 5

    Pour the dressing over the top and toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
