Apple Tortellini Salad

Total Time: 2 hr
Makes: 6 (2-cup) servings


Ingredients:
FOR DRESSING:
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. lemon pepper
3 Tbsp. frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
2 Tbsp. pine nuts, toasted, optional
2 Tbsp. chutney
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
FOR SALAD:
1 package (9 oz.) refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
2 cups sliced apples
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup sliced green onions
8 cups torn salad greens
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Combine all dressing ingredients. Cover dressing and refrigerate at least 1 hr.
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and cool thoroughly. In large mixing bowl combine tortellini and salad ingredients.
Toss gently with apple juice dressing and serve immediately.
Notes:
I can make a meal out of this salad. I have also "played-around" with it, leave off the strawberries, add ripe olives [or Kalamata's], walnuts instead of pine nuts, etc.
