  1. Cook 1 pound of cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

  4. Slice 1/2 cup of Kalamata olives.
  5. Dice 1/2 cup of bell pepper (any color).
  6. Cook 8 ounces of shrimp until pink and opaque. Chop into bite-sized pieces once cool.
  7. In a large glass or plastic bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, blanched spinach, red onion, olives, bell pepper, and shrimp.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
  9. Pour the dressing over the tortellini mixture and toss gently to combine.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
