We're positively giddy over this gorgeous Greek Tortellini Pasta Salad featuring easy cheesy tortellini, fresh veggies, creamy feta, and a delicious homemade dressing!
½tspchopped fresh parsley or 1/4 tsp dried parsley(optional)
Instructions
Bring a medium-large pot to boil over high heat and cook tortellini per package instructions, approx 4-6 mins. TIP: start with a rolling boil on high, add pasta, then decrease heat to medium-low simmer to prevent pasta breakage.
While your pasta cooks, whisk together your dressing by combining the juice of 1 lemon plus remaining ingredients and whisk until well combined. You can also add it to a mason jar and shake well.
Once tortellini is tender and al-dente, strain in a colander and rinse briefly with cold water to chill the pasta. Pour into a large bowl and add chopped tomato, cucumber, and bell pepper along with sliced onion.
Stir or shake dressing well and pour the dressing over your salad.
Ready to eat? Add feta and chopped avocado and mix well. Top with any extra feta your heart desires as well as some chopped parsley/arugula as an optiional garnish. You can even drizzle a little extra olive oil over the salad if you'd like - let your tastebuds be your guide!
