TORTELLINI

Mustard-Dill Tortellini Salad Skewers

  Short on time and need a quick but tasty appetizer, then give these a try.  They are so good!!!!!    The Mustard Dill Vinaigrette makes this dish simple incredible, you can taste a hint of mustard and dill and the sugar adds a little sweetness to the vinaigrette. Serve this dish as a salad or on skewers. What I like about the skewers is there is no cleanup and no dishes to wash. I think these look festive and fun to put on your table. The different colors bring a nice platter to the table.  I hope you enjoy serving these as much as I do.     Cheers!!!  Susan
