Tortellini Salad with Grilled Tomato Vinaigrette

SUBMITTED BY: Nicole  PHOTO BY: pomplemousse 

"This is a great recipe to bring to a buffet or picnic. This tortellini salad is entirely dependent on the quality of the ingredients so try to get the best quality salami and provolone cheese. This salad is best served at room temperature."
