Tortellini Pasta Salad



This was a side dish that we had at the birthday for my boys. It was the first time that I had made it (I often use my parties to have guinea pigs for all my new recipes... good thing they don't back fire very often!) and it went over really well. Easy to make up and perfect because I was able to prep it in the morning and not have a lot of work to do once the party was started! I doubled the recipe for a party of 40 people...
