Tortellini Caesar Salad image

This salad was served at a dear friend's baby shower by a health-conscious friend, who suggested the dressing be prepared with low-fat or fat-free ingredients. Either way, the creamy dressing has plenty of garlic flavor and coats the pasta, romaine and croutons nicely. -Tammy Steenbock, Sembach Air Base, Germany

The tortellini was a bit overcooked.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. The tortellini made it feel more like a main course than a salad.

I'm not a big fan of Caesar salad, but this one was actually really good. The tortellini added a nice twist and the dressing was tangy and flavorful.

I added some grilled chicken to this salad and it was amazing! The chicken added a nice smoky flavor that complemented the Caesar dressing perfectly.
