Bring a large pot of unsalted water to boil. Cook tortellini according to directions on the package. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again. Set aside.
Chop vegetables; set aside. Mince 1 tablespoon Kalamata olives for the dressing; set aside. Combine remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
In a pint sized jar, add salad dressing ingredients and minced olives. Be sure to crush oregano with your fingers as you are adding it so that the flavor is released.
Shake jar until dressing is combined. Pour dressing over salad and gently toss until well coated.
If this isn't to be eaten immediately, set the dressing aside until ready to serve so that the salad stays crispy.
