GREEK TORTELLINI SALAD
If big, bold salads centered around cheesy carbs are your thing, then this tortellini salad inspired by Greek flavors will become your new best friend. The salad can be served warm, at room temperature or chilled, and it's best when made a day (or even two) in advance so the flavors get a chance to really join forces. Ready to make it a meal? Fold in shredded rotisserie chicken and you'll have a guaranteed dinner winner.

Steps:
- For the pasta salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl.
- Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss to combine. Set aside.
- For the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, garlic, oregano and sugar. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well blended.
- Add the dressing to the pasta salad and toss to combine. Serve right away or refrigerate for up to 2 days and serve cold or at room temperature.
GREEK SALAD
Some of my favorite recipes are those that rely on the little things. Take this version of Greek salad. First, you choose your ingredients carefully-for instance, ripe tomatoes (taut-skinned and unblemished), of course, but also perfect cucumbers (sweet, crisp ones with character; none that are watery or full of big old seeds). Then, have a bit of fun cutting them: using a very sharp knife (this will spare you mushy, ragged-edged tomatoes), cut them into different shapes of similar size, some with sharp angles. These and a few other small details-briefly chilling the tomatoes and cucumbers and quick-pickling the onions-turn a familiar collection of ingredients into a really special salad.

Steps:
- Put the cucumbers and tomatoes in separate bowls and pop them in the fridge just until they're cold, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the onions to a small bowl. Add the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and a healthy pinch of salt, and mix well with your hands. Let the onions sit just until they get pickly, a few minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, and a good pinch of salt until the mixture looks creamy. Combine the tomatoes and cucumber in one bowl, pour in the lemon dressing, and toss gently but well.
- Grab a large platter (or 4 to 6 plates) and make a pretty layer of cucumbers and tomatoes, so the colors and types of the vegetables are well divvied up. Give the onions one more toss, then use your hands to add them (reserving their pickly liquid) here and there over the cucumbers and tomatoes. Scatter on the olives and mint. Use your hands to crumble the feta into pieces large, medium, and small as you scatter it on top. Finally, drizzle on the liquid remaining in the onion bowl. Eat straightaway.

GREEK SALAD SANDWICH
Greek salad on a bun makes a wonderfully satisfying meal. The English muffins absorb the sweet and tangy juices from the salad without becoming soggy.
