Greek Tortellini Salad



Loaded fresh vegetables and tortellini pasta this Greek Pasta Salad is almost perfect, add a sweet and tangy dressing to the mix and you have yourself a must try recipe!  My new favorite summer salad and I am sure you will love it too.

As temps are starting to warm up, I couldn't wait any longer for a summery salad.  I love love love Greek salad and it sounded absolutely perfect, but with one addition this time:  tortellini.  I have been drooling over a Greek Salad with Tortellini on Maria's blog for over a year now and finally decided that I had to try adding tortellini to my favorite Greek salad recipe.

The only 'rules' in Greek salad are tomatoes, olives, feta and olive oil.  I love mine loaded with crunchy veggies; peppers, red onion and cucumbers added to the tomatoes, Kalamata olives and loads of Feta cheese makes this a fabulous salad that I could eat every day!  But add the salad dressing and I am over the moon, red wine vinegar and olive oil combined with spices and a bit of sugar.

The tortellini is the perfect addition to this salad.  I thought it was perfect before, boy was I wrong.  The tortellini add an unexpected element to this salad.  The pasta adds texture and flavor.  To be honest, I don't think I will ever make Greek salad without tortellini pasta again.

Enjoy!
