Tortelleni Caeser Salad

Tortelleni with a twist. For the true pasta lovers.

This dish is great if you are entertaining a health concious crowd. They will love that it is made with Lowfat dressing and fat free ingredients.. :

A delicious healthy dish ! -GTG

The creamy dressing has plenty of garlic flavor and coats the pasta, romaine and croutons nicely to add it dimension and flavor elevation. It may also win over a few non-health concious people as well. I make this Tortelleni Caeser Salad for my family and it always disappears.
