Tortellini and Tomato Salad /#FoodieExtravaganza

I know it is still winter, but I love summer salads. And cookbooks. Which is how I ended up making this Tortellini and Tomato Salad! I was browsing through a cookbook when I saw this salad and I loved all the ingredients including the tortellini! I was looking for a recipe that contained a noodle for today's post. So, it all came together perfectly!
The prep of this salad is simple and easy! Cook some tortellini, chop some veggies, blend together some dressing, and you are done!

  5. Cherry Tomatoes and Corn.... where is summer?! This salad makes me wish summer was here already. Okay, everything up the 100* temps that we get here in Iowa. This sounds perfect as a side dish during the hot days when we want something light.
