Ali's Greek Tortellini Salad image

This salad is going to be in the Allrecipes Hall of Fame one day! My friend Ali made this refreshing summer salad for me, which is even better a few days later. Tortellini, a great vinaigrette, baby spinach, and feta. If you like balsamic vinegar, it's a must to add into the vinaigrette. Bon appetit!

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (9 ounce) packages cheese tortellini
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
6 eggs
1 pound baby spinach leaves
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup slivered red onion

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add tortellini, and cook for 7 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, parsley, oregano, and salt. Place the cooked tortellini in the bowl, and toss to coat. Cover, and chill at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Place eggs in a saucepan with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and allow eggs to sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, cool, peel, and quarter.
  • Gently mix the spinach, feta cheese, and onion into the bowl with the pasta. Arrange the quartered eggs around the salad to serve.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted them with cucumbers. It was still delicious!

This salad is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I added some extra herbs and spices, and it was much better.

This salad is okay, but it's not my favorite. I think it needs more flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was still edible, but it wasn't great.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was a disaster! The tortellini got soggy and the dressing was too oily.
