This one was a big hit, so I'm posting it for anyone who needs a new summer salad recipe.

Dressing:

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup mayo
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. dill weed
1/4 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/4 tsp. salt
pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a blender and refrigerate.

Salad Ingredients:

14 oz. Cooked and cooled cheese tortellini
1 bag fresh baby spinach
1 red pepper jullienned
1 small red onion finely chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes halved
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
8 pieces of cooked bacon crumbled

Layer the ingredients and refrigerate for 1-3 hours. Then drizzle dressing over the top and toss.
