Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Cook tortellini in boiling water according to package directions or until al dente. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Drain well and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.
In a large serving bowl, combine broccoli, tortellini, bacon bits, cranberries, toasted almonds and red onion. Mix to blend; then pour dressing over salad and toss to cover. Keep refrigerated until served. Makes 12-15 servings. Enjoy!
