Ingredients
Scale
- 20 ounces cheese tortellini, fresh or refrigerated
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced, English or seedless preferred
- 1-2 bell peppers, diced, any color or a mix
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup pepperoncini, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced, optional but recommended
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to halt cooking and cool completely.
- While the tortellini cooks, prepare the vegetables by halving the tomatoes, dicing the cucumber and bell peppers, halving the olives, slicing the pepperoncini, and thinly slicing the red onion if using.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly emulsified.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled tortellini, tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, olives, pepperoncini, and red onion.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to ensure everything is coated evenly.
- Carefully fold in the feta cheese last, so it stays chunky.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
