Blue Ribbon Recipe

One of the best tortellini salads we've had. Very basic ingredients and tortellini are the stars of this recipe. Tomatoes add almost a sweet flavor, while onions give the salad a little bite. Not overpowering, the dressing is very simple and adds a little tanginess. The perfect tortellini salad for summer events.
