Made this up for a family gathering, and it went over pretty well. I cut back on the sugar and thought it was still slightly too sweet. I'm not sure if I would make it again, it just didn't "do it" for me.

I didn't have sunflower seeds on hand, so I used slivered almonds- It was delicious!

I brought this to a potluck and it was a huge hit! I followed other reviewers tips and blanched the broccoli and onion for 2 minutes, divided the raisins into half raisins and craisins, toasted the sunflower seeds and cut the sugar in half. I also added a head of broccoli, cut the cider vinegar in half and doubled the amount of dressing. I couldn't find dry tortellini in the store so I used fresh and it worked out perfectely. Thank you for this recipe I will definitely be making this again!

Made this for a baby shower and it was simply wonderful. I did follow a few suggestions and made the salad the day before with 1/2 the dressing. Simply Amazing!

Delicious! Make sure to cook the tortellini al dente and blanch the broccoli in the boiling tortellini water to save on time. I omitted the onions and raisins but kept everything else the same. Yummy!

I tried this because I like the classic broccoli salad - and this is it pretty much but with tortellini - and thought this would be more like a main dish. I didn't care for the addition of the tortellini but I'm sure that's just a personal preference. I think it was because 'sweet' is good with all of the other ingredients but I didn't care for sweet tortellini.

Loved, loved, loved this. Had it again for lunch today. I used tricolored tortellini for appearance but any cheese tortellini no matter what color would not take away from this salad. My wife says we have a winner... which means NO MORE macaroni and Miracle Whip salads in the summer... Can I hear an AMEN!

Finally found the recipe that I've been looking for. My family couldn't get enough of this. I did omit the sunflower seeds and substituted cashews and it still was delicious!

Potluck favorite everytime! People always ask for the recipe. I play with the additions of things like dried cherries or glazed walnuts, etc. and the end result is always an empty bowl on the table and people asking for more.
