Greek With Envy image

Great potluck dish for hot weather - no mayo, and enjoyed by all, even non-vegetarians. For a party, buy the large frozen tortellini available at grocery stores, and increase the quantities of all other ingredients. From one of my favorite healthy cookbooks, 'Eat, Shrink and Be Merry.'

I love the versatility of this recipe. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add kalamata olives and artichoke hearts to mine.
