I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The salad was still delicious!

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.

This salad was good, but I found it to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of tortellini, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The flavors are amazing and the tortellini is cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
