The Best Greek Tortellini Pasta Salad

Pasta salads work as a great side dish option or, my personal favorite, a main course that I can just pull out of the fridge for a quick lunch or dinner on busy weekdays. Enjoy bites of fresh vegetables like crisp cucumbers, tender tortellini, homemade Greek dressing, along with a whole slew of other in-season produce!

What You Will Need

cheese tortellini – Pick out your favorite variety from your local grocery store.
feta cheese – A tangy and creamy cheese that adds flavor and the best texture.
red onion – Adds a zesty flavor in every bite.
English cucumber – One of our favorite crunchy veggies. Nothing says spring and summer like a fresh cucumber!
cherry tomatoes – Just a few little bursts of color and juiciness.
red bell pepper – We used red, but use your favorite color bell pepper.
artichokes – We used canned artichoke hearts to make this quick and easy.
Greek dressing – We love our tangy homemade Greek vinaigrette, but feel free to save time and use a store bought variety.

How To Make a Greek Pasta Salad With Tortellini

Start by prepping and measuring all of your ingredients. A sharp knife, cutting board, and vegetable peeler come in handy here! While you’re prepping your veggies, get a large pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Then cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Then drain and rinse them with cold water.

Individual bowls of feta cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, artichoke hearts, cheese tortellini, sliced cucumbers, olives, diced red bell pepper, and salad dressing.

Next, Add the tender pasta, feta cheese, red onion, cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and artichokes to a large bowl.

Recipe Tip:

If you’re making this salad ahead of time, save some of the dressing to add right before serving as the initial dressing will get soaked into the cheesy tortellini pasta.

A hand pouring dressing into the bowl of ingredients and then two spoons tossing the salad.

Toss everything together, give it a quick taste test and adjust salt and pepper as needed, and enjoy!

We love making a double batch of this amazing salad to have on hand for lunches and side dishes throughout the week.
