Greek-Style Spinach and Tortellini Salad

"This is a filling salad as is but you can add in some cooked chicken breast strips if desired. Also I like to add in a few tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to the dressing but that is optional. Plan ahead the tortellini needs to chill with the dressing for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Do not use more than 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic or it will overpower the salad, or you can omit the garlic totally."

  1. This was really yummy - made it tonight because it was too hot to cook. DIdnt use any garlic, but there was more than enough flavour so I didn't miss it. A hit with my family - will make it again.
