Pasta Salad

Is this not the worst picture of pasta salad you've ever seen? I'm not proud of it, but I've had so little time to cook since September, taking professional looking pictures isn't even in my top 50 things to do.

Anyhoo- I needed a salad to take to a Christmas party, so I decided to throw this one together. There was no recipe. I bought some refrigerated cheese tortellini, chopped up some pepperoni, diced a block of part skim mozzarella cheese and threw in some marinated artichoke hearts. I tossed it with a little homemade balsamic vinaigrette and that's the end of the story. Except for next time, I'll add olives. It needed the zing.
