"Broccoli keeps very good company in this wonderful salad. There's fresh cheese tortellini, bacon, raisins, sunflower seeds, broccoli florets, red onion, and a sweet and sour mayonnaise dressing tossed in for good measure."

INGREDIENTS:

6 slices bacon 20 ounces fresh cheese-filled tortellini 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

3 heads fresh broccoli, cut into florets 1 cup raisins 1 cup sunflower seeds 1 red onion, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
2.	Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain, and rinse under cold water.
3.	In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar to make the dressing.
4.	In a large bowl, combine broccoli, tortellini, bacon, raisins, sunflower seeds and red onion. Pour dressing over salad, and toss.
