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.

This recipe will definitely have a home in my "It's So Good" cookbook for more than 5* recipes! I made 2/3 of a recipe because I had 13 oz. of tortellini. I followed the recipe exactly, reducing all measurements by 1/3. Although this is chilling in the fridge for supper tonight, I had a small sampling and it is so good! I love the combination of ingredients! In the future, I will probably cut back on the sunflower seeds a little, but this is just a personal preference. Just simply delicious! Thanks cookiedog!

Very tasty! I did cut back on the amount of sugar and had to leave out the raisins. My son gags on them. I also blanched the broccoli a bit, personal preferance.

This was a great light-tasting salad. My raisins had gone rancid so I substituted 1/2 cup craisins and it was delish! Even DH loved it and he's picky. Very nice change from regular potato/pasta salad!

Very tasty recipe! The salad ended up very dry so I doubled the dressing but not the sugar. For the double recipe of dressing I used 1/2 cup of sugar over-all. This was a hit with the family! Thanks for posting, cookiedog!

The tortellini is a new addition to what is very similar to my broccoli salad. Yummy!! Will be making this one often.

i made this while me and my husband were visiting my parents, i didn't use the red onion because i don't really like onion but otherwise i followed the recipe exactly. it turned out very nice except it had way too much sugar, it tasted way too sweet, i will make this again but with less sugar next time.

Really good! I like the pasta addition. I skipped the raisins and subbed green onions instead of red, but would probably leave out next time. The pasta soaked up most of the dressing, so I'll try mixing with broccoli before adding pasta next time. Thank-you!

Made your pasta yesterday afternoon! It was a hit in my house. The only changes I made were, I left out the raisins, cooked 10 slices of bacon instead of 6, and substituted red wine vinegar for the cider vinegar.. And the reason for the vinegar substitution was only because I was "scurred" I panicked because I bought apple cider vinegar, and the ingredients said cider vinegar, and I had know idear if they were one of the same? I didn't want to ruin the salad, and I knew what the dressing would taste like using the redwine vinegar, because I make it all the time for my broccoli salad! Anyway, thanks for sharing! We loved it and will keep it!
