This cheese-filled pasta, combined with sweet and juicy tomatoes, cukes, scallions, and feta, coated in a tangy dressing might just be your new fave Greek salad—minus the lettuce and plus tender, chewy, tortelloni filled with an Italian cheese power-trio: ricotta, Parm, and mozzarella. It’s served at room temp, making it an ideal office lunch idea (and perfect for potlucks and picnics, too)!
9 ounce
Cheese Tortelloni
(Contains: Eggs, Milk, Wheat)
2 unit
Scallions
4 ounce
Grape Tomatoes
1 unit
Mini Cucumber
3 ounce
Greek Vinaigrette
(Contains: Eggs, Milk)
½ cup
Feta Cheese
(Contains: Milk)
Salt
Pepper
• Place tortelloni and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings) in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 3-5 minutes (5-8 minutes for 4) until pasta is tender. (No microwave? No problem! Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Reduce to a low simmer and cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes.)
• Drain, then rinse with cold water until cooled. Shake off excess water; pat dry with paper towels.
• While pasta cooks, wash and dry produce. Halve tomatoes. Quarter cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions.
• Once tortelloni are dry, return to large bowl. Stir in dressing, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, and feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Divide salad between bowls and serve.
This is like 2 of my favorite foods in the world - a great salad, and tortellini - fell in love and had a child. This is hands down one of my new fave lunch kits! I do add my own onions, bell peppers, and fresh lemon juice, because I feel like anything calling itself "Greek" needs those ingredients, as well. But this is super-fast to make, and the raw ingredients are fresh, delicious and healthy. Hooray for Greek tortelloni salad!
This was truly both delicious and EASY!!! Two little things would have improved it: we cooked the tortelloni for 5 min which was the top end of the time window you suggested. We both felt it would have tasted better if we had cooked it somewhat longer. Second: You sent 2 packets of Greek vinaigrette dressing and said to add both. Although the flavor was very complementary to the salad, it significantly upset my husband's stomach. You might suggest adding only one packet of dressing then tasting before adding the second.
Really like this meal, especially on really hot summer days when the last thing I want is to be standing over a hot stove. You can even cook the tortelloni ahead of time, and then let them cool in the fridge until you're ready to make the salad. I feel like bell pepper and red onion should be included - what's ANY kind of Greek salad without those? I usually have those ingredients in the house, so I add my own. I also add fresh lemon juice and dill to the dressing, but otherwise I really enjoy this kit, it's super-easy to make, and the meal itself is delish! It packs a healthy punch with all the raw veggies (esp. if you add more of your own) and I think this is a great side dish to serve or bring with you to a BBQ.
So fast to make and so tasty. I love the fresh crunchy cucumber with the feta and tortellini. Not heavy at all even though it's pasta.
I was super excited about this recipe, but the first few bites were flat. Then it dawned on me, olive oil is missing in the Greek salad. Wow, it made all the difference! Now the recipe is sooo delicious!
Tomatoes, cucumber, cheese and dressing were wonderful! Tortelloni was terrible. Some of them overcooked and fell apart; while the rest were undercooked and flavorless.
Tried something different but new. Loved this better than Greek salad. Would def do this again. Flavors were great. I like the tortellini.
Beautiful salad so bright and colorful! Very refreshing and delicious!!! So good with the tortellinis!!!
Very good! I added all the feta instead of half, added some of my own Greek seasoning and only 1 packet of dressing- perfect for a quick & filling dinner after a bike ride.
For 4 servings, 2-3 packets of dressing would suffice. The microwave option for the tortelloni did not do the job of tenderizing the pasta sufficiently - so I'd stick with just popping in boiling water in future. Otherwise - simple and easy dish to whip up in summer.
