Ingredients

For the salad

  • 20 ounce package cheese tortellini
  • 1 1/2 cups cucumber quartered and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 3/4 cup kalamata olives halved
  • 3/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup parsley leaves chopped
  • 1/4 cup dill chopped

For the dressing

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cool water.
  • Remove any excess water from the tortellini, then place in a large bowl with the cucumber, tomato, red onion, olives, feta cheese, parsley and dill.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the tortellini mixture then toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to 8 hours.

Notes

  1. I prefer to use fresh cheese tortellini for this recipe, but frozen tortellini will also work just fine.
  2. I like to use English cucumbers because they’re seedless. You can use standard cucumbers as well, just make sure you remove the seeds and peel first.
  3. This salad can be made up to 8 hours before you plan to serve it.
