Chen's Famous Tortellini Salad

Greek Salad Recipes

1 lb. tortellini, cooked 3 large tomatoes, chunked 3/4 c. Feta cheese Dressing 3 Tbsp. lemon juice 1/2 c. olive oil 1/2 tsp. oregano 1/2 tsp. thyme 1/2 tsp. basil 1 clove garlic, minced

Combine tortellini, tomatoes. Crumble cheese into mixture. In a separate bowl, combine dressing ingredients - lemon juice, oil, herbs, garlic. Pour dressing over tortellini. Let marinate at least 4 hours. If longer, store in refrigerator until 1 - 2 hours before serving. Bring to room temperature for serving. Variations: Add chopped black olives, or marinated artichoke hearts. A summer picnic favorite: you know how when you get invited to a picnic and your hosts say, "You'll bring that salad, won't you?" And no mayonaise, so less worries with it setting out on the buffet table.
