Just made this last night and loved how easy the dressing was! One other reviewer did mention they thought it tasted too much like mayonnaise, however I found if you let the dressing sit the flavors meld together more. I will admit I added more garlic because our family loves garlic. :)<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"12\/11\/2017 13:04","GUID":"320ee50e142f4fd79fc9be6e182c0d47","MemberId":8558871,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"SonjaVK","SubmittedDate":"12\/11\/2017 13:04"},{"Comment":"
Very good but I could only find 9 oz. pks of cheese tortellini' so I bought 2 because ingredients say one 19 oz. pkg. it was way to many so am wondering if it's a misprint and it's suppose to be 1- 9oz pkg instead of 19 ounces.

Have made this salad MANY times! I have finessed the dressing a bit by adding anchovy paste...I also grate the garlic, so there are no \"pieces\".

While I enjoyed the salad, I didn't expect the dressing to taste so 'mayonnaise-y' (I used Hellman's). I also added some minced shallot, about equal to the amount of garlic used, and it really added to the flavor of the dressing quite nicely. I will definitely make this again, perhaps with a different brand of mayo.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"07\/01\/2015 15:51","GUID":"df66ddbbd0e54282a2a0ec89ce19bb9c","MemberId":8433888,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Cuseandrea","SubmittedDate":"07\/01\/2015 15:51"},{"Comment":"

I usually add grilled chicken to the salad. Also, this is hands down the best salad dressing I've ever had! I make the dressing a day ahead to let the flavors blend and always double the batch.
