Mediterranean Tortellini Salad

I love this salad because it's packed with flavors of my childhood.  There are always fresh veggies and a nice dressing based on olive oil and vinegar. So, so good!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For Salad:

-36 oz 3 cheese tortellini, cooked according to package directions and drained

-1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

-1 cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped

-1 cup kalamata olive, pitted and halved

-1/2 red onion, halved, then thinly sliced

-8 oz feta cheese, crumbled

For Dressing:

-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

-3 Tbs red wine vinegar

-2 cloves garlic, minced

-1 tsp salt

-1 tsp pepper

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix all the salad ingredients. Give it a good stir, so that everything is mixed evenly.

In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients, then pour over the salad.  Mix very well, scoop into bowls and enjoy! YUM!
