Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add the refrigerated tortellini and cook according to package directions for about 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine mini pepperoni, sliced black olives, cubed mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced roasted red peppers. Stir gently to mix.
- Once cool, gently fold the tortellini into the salad mixture and toss thoroughly to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved roasted red pepper oil, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, and grated Parmesan until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and add torn fresh basil for garnish.
