Salad Recipe + Tortellini Picnic Salad

I make this tortellini salad for all get-togethers, and everybody LOVES it. It is always gone.

Ingredients

• 2 (9 ounce) packages cheese tortellini
• 1 (8 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
• 3 roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 (6 ounce) can black olives
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 cup white vinegar
• ½ cup olive oil, or as needed
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• salt to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until pasta floats to the surface, about 5 minutes. Drain.
2. Mix tortellini, feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, walnuts, green onions, and garlic together in a large bowl.
3. Whisk vinegar, olive oil, and basil together in a separate small bowl. Pour dressing over tortellini mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
