Greek Tortellini Salad

One of my favorite salads to eat is a Greek Salad with Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing. When I worked in West Palm Beach, Florida, my husband used to send me off to work with a wonderful, delicious, yummy Cortadito and a Greek Salad for lunch.

It was not the traditional Greek Salad, as there was a bit of lettuce in the salad, but it was what I loved so much.

Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing is not the traditional dressing for Greek Salads, but I love the stuff so much and it is really awesome on a Greek-ish salad. It is also great for cooking salmon, but I digress.

To make the salad more colorful for gatherings, we changed it up a bit and added Tortellini to give it more umph and flair. Inspired by The Slow Roasted Italian to use Tortellini in salads, I will be doing a series of Tortellini salads, as I just love the stuff.

If using a Pressure Cooker, it is a great idea to put the Tortellini into a strainer basket, so that it is easily removed from the Pressure Cooker after cooking.

 

20160613_162600

Since I used fresh Tortellini and cooked it in my Instant Pot DUO 6 Quart, it took barely one minute. So, cook for half the time on the package directions and err on the side of less time.

Carefully do a quick release and drain under cold water. If cooking on the stove, follow the directions on the package.

 

20160613_165134

Dry off the tortellini with a towel and place in refrigerator to chill.

Prepare the Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Cut up all the vegetables to bite size pieces and cut the onions super thin. Using a paper towel, dry off any excess water.

Gently Mix up all the ingredients in a Large Mixing Bowl.

If you are planning to serve the Greek Tortellini Salad immediately, add in the dressing and gently toss. I love these Bamboo Salad Hands because they have knobs on the back to keep them from sliding into the bowl.

This makes a beautiful presentation.
