Pasta: Cook tortellini according to package directions, drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Dressing: Shake all salad dressing ingredients in a sealed mason jar or bottle until combined. Taste and adjust (you can add a little honey for a sweeter dressing, if desired).
Build your mason jars: Step 1: Divide the dressing in the bottom of the jars first. I like to use a wide mouth mason jar. Pouring the dressing in first helps prevent the lettuce from getting soggy and when you pour the salad into a bowl, the dressing coats everything in the salad.
Step 2: Place the halved cherry tomatoes right on top of the dressing.
Step 3: Place the cooked tortellini on top of tomatoes and then layer the next 3 ingredients in really any order you’d like: orange bell pepper, feta cheese, and red onion.
Step 4: Gently tear the butter leaf lettuce (or lettuce of choice) and place on top! Put the lid on, and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Invert mason jar salad contents onto a plate and dig in!
