Ali’s Greek Tortellini Salad

Description

This salad is going to be in the Allrecipes Hall of Fame one day! My friend Ali made this refreshing summer salad for me, which is even better a few days later. Tortellini, a great vinaigrette, baby spinach, and feta. If you like balsamic vinegar, it’s a must to add into the vinaigrette. Bon appetit!
