Bright and vibrant, this Zesty Greek Tortellini Salad features tender cheese tortellini tossed with fresh cucumbers, juicy cherry tomatoes, and briny Kalamata olives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Begin by cooking the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to cool it down.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced Kalamata olives, and thinly sliced red onion.
  3. Step 3: Add the cooled tortellini to the bowl with the vegetables and gently mix to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle olive oil over the salad and sprinkle in crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store your Zesty Greek Tortellini Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you're looking to enjoy leftovers, gently toss the salad and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to bring back its vibrant flavors. Pair the salad with grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost, or serve it alongside crusty bread for a complete meal. To enhance the flavor profile, consider marinating the cherry tomatoes in balsamic vinegar for an hour before adding them to the salad – it adds a delightful tang!
