Method
-             Cook tortellini according to package directions. While pasta cooks, drain artichokes reserving 1/4 cup marinade in a large bowl and discarding the rest. Whisk in vinegar, parsley and oregano. Drain pasta and do not rinse; add to bowl with marinade, tossing occasionally to coat with dressing. Set aside to cool until warm.
 -             Cut artichoke quarters in half crosswise. When pasta is no longer hot, add tomatoes and cheese cubes to bowl; toss to coat lightly with dressing.
 -             On each 6-inch skewer, thread one olive, one cheese cube, one tomato, one pepperoncini, two tortellini, and two salami slices, alternating colors and textures as desired.
