Chef's Note & Story
Crisp, fresh broccoli and cheese tortellini with a creamy dressing are the basis of this salad. Raisins, sunflower seeds and red onion dress it up. This recipe is most requested at potlucks.
My cousin will be visiting on Saturday. She loves to eat salads and surely she will love this one. Thank you for sharing...
