We had a big crowd at my house this weekend and I wanted to make some type of a veggie salad to go with my ribs and potato salad, and this was it! Very tasty indeed! I loved the tortellini added, and with craisins substituting the raisins it was terrific!

I've made this before without the tortellini. But this is the only way I'll make this from now on. I used currants instead of raisins and didn't have sunflower seeds. It still turned out great! Will make again! Thanks.

This was pretty good, but I messed up and forgot to get some ingredients at the store. I omitted the raisins and sunflower seeds this is what I forgot. I think it would have been much better with those ingredients. The flavor is good otherwise and I will make again with the correct stuff added. Thanks for the great recipe.
