Tortellini Arugula Salad

This salad is out of this world, such a wonderful combination of great flavors. There are alot of photos, but trust me, it really is easy to put together. I used cranberries, because I smuggled them in from Canada,  had some in my pantry. I think apples or pears would be great in this salad,or even grapes. When you cook your tortellini, it helps to place it in a bowl of ice, this helps stop the cooking, and it won't turn to mush. If you chose not to make the dressing, that would be fine too, and instead just use olive oil and vinegar to taste. I hope you go ahead and give it a try.
