Step 1: Cook the Tortellini

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes.
2. Drain the tortellini and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow the tortellini to cool completely before assembling the salad.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

1. Wash and chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
2. Thinly slice the red onion and slice the Kalamata olives. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Dressing

1. In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
2. Whisk the ingredients until well emulsified, or shake vigorously if using a jar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 4: Assemble the Salad

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
2. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches

1. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the salad and toss lightly.
2. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 6: Serve or Chill

1. Serve the salad immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad tastes even better after chilling!
