COLORFUL TORTELLINI PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to directions on the package.
• When making any pasta salad, I prefer to under cook it by a minute or two so that it is a bit more firm, but this is up to you.
• Rinse with cold water and drain well.
• Whisk together vinegar, olive oil, herbs, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and hot sauce in a medium bowl or large measuring cup.
• Combine peppers, onion, and olives in a very large bowl.
• Gently stir in tortellini.
• Pour dressing over salad and lightly toss to coat pasta and vegetables.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours.
• Just before serving, sprinkle the cheeses on top.
