Who says summer meals have to be complicated? We love this tangy, simple and tasty salad on warm summer nights. Add a cold glass of lemonade or iced tea and dinner couldn't be easier. -Samantha Vicars, Kenosha, Wisconsin

This salad was just meh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

Ugh, this salad was terrible. The tortellini was mushy and the bacon was burnt. The lemon dressing was also way too sweet.

This salad was a disappointment. The tortellini was overcooked and the bacon was too chewy. The lemon dressing was also too sour.

The salad was okay, but I wasn't a huge fan of the lemon dressing. I think it would be better with a different dressing.

This salad was a bit too lemony for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less lemon dressing next time.

Loved this salad! The flavors were so fresh and bright. The tortellini was cooked perfectly and the bacon was nice and crispy.

This salad is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I love that you can use any kind of tortellini you like, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor.

So refreshing and flavorful! The tortellini and bacon add a nice hearty touch, while the lemon dressing really brightens it up. Perfect for a summer lunch or dinner.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone raved about the bright, lemony flavor and the crispy bacon. I'll definitely be making it again.
