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.
