Warm Tortellini Salad
"Delicious and simple--you can have this on the table in mere minutes. Use bottled vinaigrette or make your own. I used a double recipe of Bergy's Lemon Garlic Dijon Vinaigrette (recipe #96361)--it was fantastic and complimented the dish perfectly. I served topped with freshly ground black pepper and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano."

I cut this recipe in half and used my own peppers that I roasted. Instead of the vinaigrette I used a honey dijon fat free dressing and the havarti was exchanged for a low fat cheddar. It was easy and delicious. It's very good cold the next day too.
