We LOVED this meal! The salad has a wonderful Asian flair, and it served the 2 of us for 3 meals! (I just add enough of the pasta mixture to the right amount of spinach each time.)In the dressing, I cut back the oil to 1/4 cup and increased the soy sauce (I couldn't find tamari) by 1 Tbsp. I thought these changes made the perfect flavor.I've never used sesame oil before, and none of the bottles at the store specified 'toasted'; it is wonderfully fragrant however, and really makes this dish!

Tortellini Spinach Salad With Sesame Dressing,I copied this recipe from a vegetarian cookbook many years ago and I just came across it again today. It is such a wonderful salad – I love spinach and cheese tortellini but the dressing is what really makes it stand out.,We LOVED this meal! The salad has a wonderful Asian flair, and it served the 2 of us for 3 meals! (I just add enough of the pasta mixture to the right amount of spinach each time.)In the dressing, I cut back the oil to 1/4 cup and increased the soy sauce (I couldn’t find tamari) by 1 Tbsp. I thought these changes made the perfect flavor.I’ve never used sesame oil before, and none of the bottles at the store specified ‘toasted’; it is wonderfully fragrant however, and really makes this dish!,This was delicious!!!! I did add a little fresh grated ginger to the dressing, cut back on the oil (which didn’t hurt this at all) and added about 1 tsp. of brown sugar. Also I tossed in some shrimp which I had marinated in some of the dressing (I cut the recipe in half but left the full amount of the dressing). DH and I gobbled this down and wished I had made more. Thank you for posting and this is going into my Favorites of 2012. Made for National Tomato Month Forum — Diabeties.
