For the BBQ we hosted on Friday I wanted to try a new recipe.
Pasta Salad is one of my favorite summer side dishes,
and when I saw this Greek Tortellini Salad on Pinterest I knew I had to make it.
I'm 99% positive I found this through Natalie's Pinterest Board....basically every recipe she pins is immediately repinned to my recipe board.
sadly one of my better food photos
It was SO EASY and so delicious. I'd add a little bit more feta than the recipe calls for, and I didn't use quite as many olives because I toss 'em to the side most of the time anyways.
It made enough for all 8 of us to eat!
I served it in a trifle so it was pretty to display as well.
