Notes
- Cook up the tortellini according to the package but don’t take them off the heat as soon as they’re al dente. Nobody wants mushy tortellini falling apart in their salad!
- To kick up the flavor, toss in some fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
- This salad gets even tastier if you make it ahead of time. A few hours in the fridge lets all those flavors come together, so go ahead and prep it early if you can!
