The name of the game is preparation, ladies and gentlemen. The point of a picnic is to pick a spot, put down a blanket, and eat. Prepare this healthy, delicious and easy meal ahead of time.

A word to the wise when preparing a picnic or any bagged lunch: prepare something that will only get better the longer you wait to eat it.

You will need:

  • 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 4 ounces sliced pepperoni, quartered
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, diced
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
  • salt and black pepper to taste
