Dressing:

6 Tablespoons frozen apple-juice concentrate, thawed

6 Tablespoons light corn syrup

4 teaspoons brown sugar

2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Ground white pepper, to taste

Salad:

2 package (9 ounces) refrigerated or frozen cheese-filled tortellini

6 medium sweet-tart apples (e.g. Granny Smith apples), cored and sliced (about 4 cups)

4 cups shredded salad greens

1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

1 cup thinly sliced celery

1 cup sliced green onions

4 Tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Make dressing: Combine apple-juice concentrate, corn syrup, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic salt and pepper in a screw-top jar; shake well and refrigerate. Make salad: Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain, and cool by rinsing pasta under cold water. Shake gently to drain thoroughly. In a large mixing bowl, combine tortellini, apples, salad greens, strawberries, celery and green onions. Toss salad gently with chilled dressing. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.
