This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the combination of flavors and textures. It's also a great way to use up leftover tortellini.

I tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! The tortellini was perfectly cooked and the spinach was fresh and crisp. The dressing was also very good, with a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The tortellini and spinach were a great combination, and the dressing was light and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
