    Combine cucumber, red onion, grape tomatoes, and olives in a large bowl.

    For the dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic granules, parsley, oregano, onion powder, salt, and Greek seasoning in a glass jar with a lid. Tighten and shake well until dressing is well combined.

    Add tortellini to the vegetables. Pour the dressing over and thoroughly fold dressing into salad using a slotted spoon to thoroughly coat tortellini and vegetables. Sprinkle salad with feta cheese. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

    Cook's Notes:

    I buy my tortellini in the refrigerated section at Aldi. I purchased two 9-ounce packages.

    Feel free to add cooked grilled chicken breast strips for more protein.
