Went to a BBQ and literally just used whatever I could find in the kitchen to throw together a quick and easy side dish. I now make it almost every BBQ we go to!

I wasn't a big fan of the tortellini in this salad, but the pesto dressing was delicious.

I thought the pesto dressing was a bit too oily for my taste, but otherwise the salad was very good.
