Tortellini & Chicken Salad

Looking for a quick and easy summer dinner that's delicious?  This pasta salad with chicken and fresh veggies is the perfect choice!

1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/8 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
1/3 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1 Tbsp thyme leaves
18 oz cheese-filled tortellini, cooked, drained and rinsed
2 cups shredded chicken
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup fresh corn kernels  (2 ears)
1 cup Spring Mix salad greens
3 Tbsp chopped toasted pecans

Whisk together balsamic vinegar, pepper and 1/2 tsp kosher salt in a small bowl until combined.  Gradually add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until smooth.  Stir in oregano and thyme and set aside.  

Gently toss together cooked tortellini, chicken, tomatoes, corn and remaining 1/4 tsp kosher salt in a large bowl.  Gently stir in vinaigrette and fold in salad greens.  Sprinkle with pecans.
