Tortellini Salad
I love a good salad. Especially one that isn’t the typical recipe. This salad recipe is a little bit different than other salads that I’ve made. It has some fruit in it – apples and mandarin oranges. It has pasta in it – yum! And it has a homemade dressing. I love homemade dressings so much! Why do they always taste so much better than store bought? And they aren’t hard to make.

This salad in particular is refreshing and would be perfect for summer. It would be great to take to a potluck. Not your typical potluck food!
