This is my fresh tasting, flavorful, tortellini salad that is always a big hit at family gatherings!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This isn't just your regular ol' pasta salad! The dressing is very light and the tortellini make for a very filling dish. You could easily serve this with some crusty bread and a nice salad for a lovely, light meal.
