Recipe Notes
I double the tortellini. Sauté the tomato halves in a skillet for a few minutes to soften them. You can make an envelope of Good Seasons salad dressing instead of buying a bottle. Drizzle the salad with about half of the dressing, stir to combine and cover and refrigerate until serving. Before serving, I stir the salad and see how much more dressing to add. You may not need the whole 8 oz amount.
