Cheese Tortellini + Classic Greek Salad = Yum

June is here and that means summer is here. I know summer doesn’t officially start until later in the month, but I am ready! I am giving us all permission to start summer early. We kicked off our early summer by making a Greek Tortellini Salad for dinner. I love making pasta salads during the summer months and this one is already a favorite!

I love a good classic Greek Salad, but I also like to mix things up. Last year, I made a Greek Quinoa Salad and it has become a staple in our house. This year, I jazzed the traditional Greek Salad up by adding cheese tortellini to the mix. Josh loves cheese tortellini and was very happy my new salad creation.

Tortellini Salad Ingredients

To make this tortellini salad you will need:

• Cheese tortellini-you can use refrigerated, frozen, or even dried tortellini. Refrigerated or frozen tortellini is our favorite to use.
• Grape tomatoes-you can use cherry tomatoes too.
• Cucumbers-seedless cucumbers or regular cucumbers work well, use your favorite!
• Kalamata olives-make sure you buy pitted kalamata olives.
• Red onion-thinly slice the red onion.
• Feta cheese-you can buy a block of feta cheese and crumble it into the salad or buy pre-crumbled feta cheese.
• Greek dressing-this dressing is easy to whisk up and gives the salad great flavor.

How to make Tortellini Salad

I love making tortellini pasta salads because they are filling and easy to make. Cook the tortellini, according to package instructions, and add in tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, red onion, and feta cheese. Toss the salad with the simple Greek dressing made of olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano.

You can serve the pasta salad right away or chilled. This salad can be made ahead of time, which is a huge bonus. It will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. I love making a big Greek Tortellini Salad so we can nibble on it for a few days. This pasta salad is always a hit at parties and potlucks. Everyone will beg you for the recipe!

Celebrate summer with this Greek Tortellini Salad! It is a great salad to take tosummer barbecues, pool parties, and picnics. No need to wait, let’s get this summer party started!
