Supper Tonight - Tortellini Salad

Sounds like a pretty decent salad you got going there....
I'd pass on the blanched asparagus, just cause I can't stand
it... maybe some grill asparagus would be in order.. and you
really can't go wrong with some avocado if you've got some
nice and ripe

Bought a bag of the tortellinis at Sam's a couple days
ago. I cooked some for a supper salad and now have
this going:

Cooked tortellinis About 4-6 oz smoked turkey breast (deli
junk), in french-fry-like pieces Some red onion Some great
tomatoes Some black fancyschmancy olives from Brianno's A
couple fresh mushrooms, sliced in thick pieces About 1/4
sweet red bell pepper, in short strips A coupla radishes,
sliced Olive oil Balsamic vinegar Fresh basil Dried basil
Dried oregano Freshly ground black pepper

My question here is whether or not you have any opinions
about the addition of some blanched asparagus (local
farmers market is ramping up). I'm thinking also of adding
some avocado pieces.

So far, the samples taste pretty good.

never remember. . . .

It was good, Bob. Rob wasn't keen on the tortellini, though.
I told him I saw him stuffing his right cheek -- just
waiting for me to turn my back, no doubt. :-) I didn't do
the asparagus in the salad; I cooked one bunch and may make
soup -- if I don't just nibble them gone. I LOVE asparagus.
