Tortellini Vegetable Salad combines the convenience of frozen pasta and a store-bought dressing with fresh vegetables for a healthy side dish or lunch main dish. You can adjust the quantities to make it vegetable heavy, or light on the veggies, depending on what your crew will eat. It’s also a great way to introduce new raw vegetables to young eaters so they can pick their favorites and sample the new flavors.

Do you have a special salad dressing that's good for WW points which you use with this? I'd like some direction on something that tastes really good that's a Greek salad dressing and won't use up my points!
