Greek Tortellini Salad
This tortellini salad recipe is one of my favourite pasta salad recipes. It is infused with delicious Greek flavours like feta cheese, tomatoes and red onions.
Ingredients: | 1 lb (500 g) | cheese-filled tortellini | | 1 1/2 C (375 ml) | English cucumber (peeled & diced) | | 10-12 | cherry tomatoes (halved) | | 3/4 C (175 ml) | bottled roasted red peppers (chopped) | | 3/4 C (175 ml) | feta cheese (crumbled) | | 3/4 C (175 ml) | ripe olives | | 1/2 C (125 ml) | green onions (chopped) | | 1/3 C (75 ml) | red onions (chopped) | | 2 tsp. (10 ml) | oregano | | 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) | fresh ground pepper |
Dressing: | 1/3 C (75 ml) | Italian dressing | | 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) | balsamic vinegar | | 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) | lemon juice | | 1 tsp. (5 ml) | liquid honey | | 1 tsp. (5 ml) | Dijon mustard |
Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey and Dijon mustard. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the tortellini for 8-12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well and place into a large bowl. Add diced cucumber, tomatoes, red peppers, feta cheese, onions, oregano and pepper. Mix well. Add the dressing and mix again. Cover and refrigerate until picnic time.
