I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover tortellini and it's also really versatile. I've added different vegetables and meats to it depending on what I have on hand.

I would have liked this salad more if the dressing had been lighter.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I was a little disappointed with this salad. The dressing was too heavy for my taste and the tortellini was overcooked.
