I gave this recipe 5 stars. My family loves this salad. My mom got her copy of this recipe from Mr. Food. My family has made a few changes to the recipe. My mom only uses frozen or dried tortellini, regular sour cream and mayonnaise. My family doesn't add the peppers or scallions. My mom does sometimes use fresh basil and adds onion powder. My brother-inlaw adds frozen peas which I really enjoy. Overall this is got to be one of the best salads I've ever had. Thanks so much for posting such a great recipe. Christine (internetnut)

I am a stay at home mom of two wonderful little boys, Alex and Andrew. Cooking and Baking are my two favorite hobbies, and it's a good thing because I do it a lot!! My husband can be somewhat picky so when I find a recipe that he likes, it immediately goes into my "keeper" file. I'm a big believer in cooking healthy meals that are both good for you AND delicious. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good dessert, as you can see by my chocolate marshmallow brownie recipe!!! But everyone deserves to splurge every now and then. It's just all about moderation.
I also enjoy staying fit by doing aerobics and yoga. I enjoy reading, hanging out with my family, boating and riding my bicycle.
