Lori's Favorite Pasta Salad image

I had a salad similar to this at my favorite restaurant and loved it, I played around with ingredients until I got the taste I wanted. I've added chopped grilled chicken or chopped salami, but I prefer it without any meat.

I'm not a fan of tortellini, so I used penne pasta instead. The salad was still delicious!

This pasta salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more seasoning or a different dressing.
