Veggie Tortellini Salad image

"My family always asks for and enjoys this salad when we have special gatherings," shares Patricia Mallon from Yakima, Washington. "It also works great for potlucks since it's so quick and easy to prepare." TIP: To turn the Veggie Tortellini Salad into an easy stand-alone meal mainstay, try adding grilled chicken strips, pepperoni or Italian salami. Serve with slices of crusty bread and iced sun tea.
