Tortellini Salad With Tomatoes And Peas

She always tells me she doesn't have a recipe she just makes it by taste.

Recipe Summary Tortellini Salad With Tomatoes And Peas

This is one of my standard pasta salads for potlucks or parties. It's vegetarian and so good! Don't skimp with the dressing because the tortellini soak up a lot of dressing. I estimated the dressing amounts, so you just need to taste for yourself.
