I thought the dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a little bit of honey.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice instead. It was still delicious!

I love the versatility of this recipe! I used whole wheat tortelloni and added some roasted red peppers for a pop of color and flavor.
