This BLT Tortellini Pasta Salad is the kind of dish that brings everyone to the table. With crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, fresh greens, and cheesy tortellini, it’s a hearty twist on a classic that’s perfect for casual gatherings or laid-back weekend lunches. Serve it chilled with a glass of our Oregon Pinot Noir—the wine’s bright acidity and subtle earthiness balance the richness beautifully and make every bite even better.
