Here's one I kluged together a few years ago, inspired by
?Stouffer's? discontinued tortellini salad.

Tortellini Salad with Dijon-Garlic Dressing (8)

9 ounces uncooked cheese-filled tortellini (I used tri-colored)
1 c cooked broccoli
1 c parboiled carrots, julienned
1 c red pepper, julienned
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme

Dijon-Garlic Dressing:
1/2 c finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 c olive oil
3 Tbsp white wine vinegar
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tsp horseradish
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed (depends on size)
1/8 tsp salt
several grinds of black pepper

Cook tortellini al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Combine in bowl with vegetables and herbs.
Dressing: Combine all ingredients except 2 Tbsp parsley in
a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Pour half of this over the
tortellini and veggies, toss gently and refrigerate for at
least 2 hours.
At serving time, pour remaining dressing over salad and
toss gently. Garnish with parsley and serve. Jean B. via rfc
