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.
