Meatless Monday: Tortellini Salad with Avocado and Feta

April 18, 2016 Mary 2 Comments

Tortellini Salad with Avocado and Feta

There’s not a lot that can go wrong with avocado and feta.

Toss them with some tortellini, olives, tomatoes, artichokes (or not- you decide), assorted herbs and a dressing and you’ve got dinner.

Or lunch. It keeps well.

Vary this according to what you’ve got on hand. Sun-dried tomatoes? Toss them in. Cucumbers? Those too.

It’s flexible.

For tomatoes, though, cherry or grape ones are best. Whole tomatoes cut into pieces will get too mushy if you are planning to have any of this for leftovers.

(Try it with a wedge of No Knead Pan Bread on the side.)

This salad can be varied according to what you have on hand. Toss the avocado with the lemon juice immediately to prevent it from turning brown.
