This Greek tortelloni salad is a fresh twist on the classic Greek salad-no lettuce required! Cheese-filled tortelloni (a blend of ricotta, Parmesan and mozzarella) takes center stage, paired with sweet grape tomatoes, crunchy cucumber and salty feta. Tossed in a tangy Greek vinaigrette, this dish is served at room temperature, making it an ideal choice for office lunches, picnics and potlucks.
Ready in just 10 minutes, this salad is as convenient as it is delicious. The tortelloni is quickly microwaved (or boiled) until tender, then cooled and combined with fresh veggies and dressing. It’s a satisfying, veggie-packed meal that’s perfect for busy days.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Place tortelloni and ½ cup water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 3-5 minutes until pasta is tender. (Alternatively, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add tortelloni and cook 3-4 minutes until tender and floating.)
- Drain the tortelloni, then rinse with cold water until cooled. Shake off excess water and pat dry with paper towels.
- While pasta cooks, wash and dry produce. Halve the grape tomatoes. Quarter the mini cucumber lengthwise, then slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice the scallions.
- Once tortelloni are dry, return them to the large bowl. Stir in the Greek vinaigrette, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions and feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Divide the salad between bowls and serve at room temperature.
Recipe Tips
For a vegetarian version, ensure the tortelloni is made without meat; cheese tortelloni is typically vegetarian.
If you prefer a warm salad, skip the rinsing step and toss the hot tortelloni with the dressing and veggies.
This salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days; add a splash of vinaigrette before serving if needed.
