Green Tortellini Salad Food

GREEK TORTELLINI SALAD

Steps:

• For the pasta salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl.
• Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss to combine. Set aside.
• For the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, garlic, oregano and sugar. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well blended.
• Add the dressing to the pasta salad and toss to combine. Serve right away or refrigerate for up to 2 days and serve cold or at room temperature.

TORTELLINI SALAD

Steps:

• Start by defrosting/cooking the cheese tortellini in a pot of boiling water. The tortellini are ready when they float in the water and are heated through. Move them to a colander to drain, and set aside.
• Drain and coarsely chop the black olives (you can use pre-chopped olives to save time). Peel the onion, de-seed the pepper, and coarsely chop them as well.
• Place chopped vegetables and cheese tortellini in a large bowl. Sprinkle desired amount of cheese (feta or mozzarella) and the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the vegetables and tortellini, and then toss it all together. If you are using mozzarella cheese, it will probably melt a bit, which is fine.
• Give the salad a taste, and add salt and pepper as desired. You may also want to add more olive oil or vinegar, depending on your preference. You can eat the salad right away, warm, or save it for later and eat it cold. The flavors will meld and (in my opinion) get better with time, so make sure you make enough for leftovers!
