GREEK-STYLE SPINACH AND EGG TORTELLINI SALAD
I have made this many times to serve to guests in the summer season, it is delicious! You can adjust all amounts to taste and double the recipe to serve more than six. Plan ahead the tortellini needs to chill in the dressing for a minumum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Don't be tempted to use more than 1 teaspoon (or less) of fresh garlic, or the garlic flavor will overpower the salad, you can use garlic powder in place of fresh, if you are not a garlic-lover then omit completely, this dressing is good even without the garlic! If you want to serve more dressing on the side, then prepare two separate dressings and use one to marinate the tortellini in and one to serve on the side.

Steps:
- Cook the tortellini in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender (about 4-5 minutes) drain and rinse under cold water; place in a large glass bowl.
- In a bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt and Parmesan cheese (add in a small amount of sugar if desired and season with black pepper to taste).
- Pour the dressing over the tortellini; toss to combine; cover and chill for 4-24 hours.
- To prepare the salad; add in spinach leaves, feta cheese, onions slices and cherry tomatoes; toss gently to combine with the tortellini/dressing mixture.
- Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
- Mound on a large serving platter or plate, and arrange the egg quarters around the edge.
- Delicious!
