I'm not a big fan of tortellini, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is delicious and the other ingredients complement the tortellini well.

The dressing for this salad is too oily. I would recommend using less oil or adding a little bit of vinegar to balance out the flavors.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more seasoning. I also found the tortellini to be a bit overcooked.

I've been making this salad for years and it's always a favorite. It's a great way to use up leftover tortellini. I like to add a little bit of crumbled bacon and chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make and the ingredients are readily available. I like to add a little extra Parmesan cheese and black pepper to taste.
