Time 2h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
1 (15.5 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
½ pint grape tomatoes, halved
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (8 ounce) bottle vinaigrette
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place spinach in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high power for 7 minutes. Set aside and squeeze to drain all moisture when cool enough to handle.
  • Toss drained spinach, beans, and tomatoes together in a large bowl.
  • Drain tortellini and rinse under cold water. Toss into vegetables. Mix in feta and Parmesan cheeses, vinaigrette, and lemon juice. Place in the refrigerator to chill, about 2 hours. Serve chilled.
