Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 18 ounces cheese tortellini

  • 4 ounces mini cucumbers, halved lengthwise, then sliced into half moons

  • 1/2 small red onion, slivered

  • 3/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved

  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, halved

  • 3/4 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic

  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender’s® Greek seasoning)

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions


  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain tortellini; allow to cool.

  2. Combine cucumber, red onion, grape tomatoes, and olives in a large bowl.

  3. For the dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic granules, parsley, oregano, onion powder, salt, and Greek seasoning in a glass jar with a lid. Tighten and shake well until dressing is well combined.

  4. Add tortellini to the vegetables. Pour the dressing over and thoroughly fold dressing into salad using a slotted spoon to thoroughly coat tortellini and vegetables. Sprinkle salad with feta cheese. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

Cook's Notes:

I buy my tortellini in the refrigerated section at Aldi. I purchased two 9-ounce packages.

Feel free to add cooked grilled chicken breast strips for more protein.
