Made this delicious pasta salad for tonight's dinner. I have had my eye on this recipe since seeing the wonderful photo and reading the ingredient list. Knew I had to make this recipe as it contains all my favorite ingredients. This may just become my fav pasta salad recipe and I am adding it to my Best of 2014 Cookbook. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Made this for lunch today -- loved it! I used roasted piquillo peppers in this, since I was out of regular roasted red peppers, and I used yellow onion in place of the red. I increased everything a bit, since my tortellini package was 24 oz instead of 16oz. My batch didn't come out quite as pretty as the original photo because I was rushing to get this done before work, but it's still an atttractive colorful dish that would be really nice at a potluck or summer BBQ. It's yummy, to boot -- can't go wrong with the pretty and delicious combo! I'll be keeping this recipe on hand for this summer. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2014
