Greek Tortellini Salad

Made for lunch today - a very tasty and very easy salad to prepare. This is my favourite kind of food - make ahead and serve when needed, also nice and easy to eat while on a road trip.

Enjoy!


Greek Tortellini Salad

Dressing
1/3 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp liquid honey

1 lb (454 g) cheese-filled tortellini
1 ½ cups peeled, diced English cucumber
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
¾ cup chopped bottled roasted red peppers
¾ cup crumbled light feta cheese
½ cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup minced red onions
2 TBSP minced fresh oregano leaves
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

To make dressing, whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Cook tortellini according to package directions until tender but firm. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain again. Transfer tortellini to a large bowl.

Add cucumber, tomatoes, red peppers, feta cheese, green and red onions, oregano, and pepper. Mix well. Add dressing and toss again. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Yield: 4 servings
