Ingredients
- 9 oz fresh cheese tortellini (refrigerated tortellino)
- 1 cup Diced bell pepper
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1/2-1 cup seedless cucumber , peeled and diced
- 1/4-1/2 cup Thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4-1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 avocado , peeled and diced
- chopped fresh parsley or arugula to garnish (optional)
EASY GREEK LEMON DRESSING
- 1 lemon , juiced
- 3-4 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic , smashed and minced
- ¼ tsp dried oregano leaves
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp chopped 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!
