Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 7-9 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside to cool.
While the tortellini is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber into small cubes. If desired, peel the cucumber for a smoother texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled tortellini, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently toss the salad until the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Grate the parmesan cheese over the top before serving. Enjoy your refreshing tortellini salad!
