Meanwhile, in a nonreactive mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, herbs, shallots, lemon juice, and
remaining 1 1/4 cups olive oil. Mix to combine and season with gray salt and pepper to combine. When the
tortellini have cooled to room temperature toss with the vinaigrette.
To serve, line the perimeter of a large serving platter with overlapping slices of the mozzarella. Spoon the
tortellini salad in the center and scatter the arugula leaves over the top.
