Tortellini, a great vinaigrette, baby spinach, and feta. If you like balsamic vinegar, it's a must to add into the vinaigrette. Bon appetit!

GREEK-STYLE SPINACH AND TORTELLINI SALAD



Greek-Style Spinach and Tortellini Salad image

This is a filling salad as is but you can add in some cooked chicken breast strips if desired. Also I like to add in a few tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to the dressing but that is optional. Plan ahead the tortellini needs to chill with the dressing for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Do not use more than 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic or it will overpower the salad, or you can omit the garlic totally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh spinach, eggs, and tortellini will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Cook the tortellini al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Hard-boil eggs: For the best results, hard-boil your eggs for 10-12 minutes. This will give you a firm yolk that is easy to slice.
  • Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing is a good choice for this salad.
  • Add some crunch: To add some extra texture and flavor, you can add some chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons to your salad.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The tortellini will start to absorb the dressing and become soggy if you wait too long.

Conclusion:

Greek-style spinach and egg tortellini salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of fresh ingredients, flavorful dressing, and crunchy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
