  • 1 c. feta cheese
  • 1/4 c. olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • salt and pepper, to taste


How To Cook It:

  • cook the tortellini according to the package directions, drain and rinse with cold water
  • while the tortellini is cooking chop veggies
  • place the tortellini in a large bowl, add the tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, and feta cheese
  • in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper
