I liked the combination of sun dried tomatoes and prosciutto with the tortellini. I wasn't initally as fond of the dressing which, for my taste, was a bit harsh. I added sugar and mayo to temper it a bit. I'm also not overly fond of rosemary so mixed that with oregano for the dressing. I also think the salad tastes better after refrigeration for a few hours (and changed my rating to reflect that). Thanks for sharing the recipe.
