Tortellini & Spring Greens Salad

This was a concoction of mine, as I tried to come up with some kind of dinner with leftover tortellini, yet satisfy my craving for a salad and toasted pine nuts. Derrick actually requested that it be put on the blog, so he must have thought it was as tasty as I did!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pound Tortellini, cooked as directed and cooled to room temperature
1 pkg spring greens salad mix
1 green onion, chopped
1/4 C toasted pine nuts
fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed

Mix together and top with this dressing:

DRESSING:
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T peach preserves (or whatever flavor you may have)
2 T red wine vinegar
1 T Dijon Mustard
1 t oregano
1/3 C light olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
