This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the dressing.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more seasoning to the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover tortellini. I also added some grilled chicken to make it a more complete meal.
