This seafood tortellini salad is a great side for any barbeque with fresh pasta, crunchy veggies, and seafood tossed in a creamy dijon mayo dill sauce!
Our family loves this time of year where we get ready for summer fun! We long for the days of swimming in the pool, catching fire flies, roasting marshmallows, and lots of barbecues!
We enjoy hosting friends and family for backyard barbecues and creating great dishes to go alongside of grilled meats!
I created a seafood tortellini salad that has fresh tri-colored tortellini, chunks of crab meat and shrimp, crunchy peppers and celery and tossed in a light dijon mayo dill sauce!
