"We used to buy this salad in the deli of a local grocery store. This is just as good and much more economical! Cook time includes chilling time."

This was delicious. I used ham and cheese tortellini, but otherwise did everything as recipe requested. It turned out fantastic! We really loved this! Thanks!
