Instructions

1. Place tortelloni and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings) in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 3-5 minutes (5-8 minutes for 4) until pasta is tender. (No microwave? Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add tortelloni, reduce to a low simmer and cook until tender and floating, 3-4 minutes.)
2. Drain, then rinse with cold water until cooled. Shake off excess water and pat dry with paper towels.
3. While pasta cooks, wash and dry produce. Halve the grape tomatoes. Quarter the cucumber lengthwise, then slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice the scallions.
4. Once tortelloni are dry, return to the large bowl. Stir in the Greek vinaigrette, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions and feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
5. Divide salad between bowls and serve at room temperature or chilled.
