Greek Tortellini Salad

This is one of my favorite salads. It has pasta and veggies - a full meal itself.

(A bottled sun-dried tomato dressing makes it easy, but you could make your own)
  • 1 - 9 oz package cheese tortellini, cooked and drained
  • 5 Roma tomatoes, cut into large chunks
  • 1/2 English cucumber, cut into large chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 purple or white onion sliced thin
  • 1 - 4 oz can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1/2 cup Italian or Greek salad dressing (sun-dried tomato dressing is wonderful)
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • Parmesan cheese, shredded for garnish
  • baby spinach or baby greens
Combine ingredients, except for spinach/greens in a large serving bowl. Cover and chill several hours. Serve salad on a bed of spinach or baby greens.
