This salad was a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more dressing next time.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out really good! I used spinach instead of broccoli and added some chopped walnuts.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but this salad changed my mind! The tortellini and bacon really balance out the flavor.
