Notes
• Make sure to cook the tortellini al dente so that it doesn’t become mushy when you refrigerate it.
• If you’re not a fan of black olives, you can substitute them with green olives instead.
• You can use any type of Italian dressing that you like.
• You can add other ingredients to the salad such as red onion, bell peppers, or artichoke hearts.
