This could be a meal on a warm spring or summer evening! Birds Eye are my favorite frozen artichoke hearts – they are always tender and good. Delish!
Tortellini salads always remind me of summer because my mom used to make them with pesto. I definitely want to try this so I can at least feel like the weather is getting warmer. Love your mix-ins!
We hear ya Joanne! We feel the same way… Hope it warms up in NY soon… Have a great day!
This looks so simple and delicious! I would definitely want some for dinner!
