I made this salad for Thanksgiving this year. It was a bigger hit than I thought it would be with the averse to eating green crowd that my family is. The addition that I made because I like Greek food and I just don't think it is complete without kalamata olives. I was surprised by the quantity that this makes. I was thankful for the suggestion of serving on a platter because it was much more pleasing to see that ingredients on full display. Thank you to the chef!

This is a wonderful salad! I used tri-color tortellini, and orange cherry tomatoes from my garden, so the mix of colors on the platter was beautiful. The dressing was just what I was looking for, a little tangy from the vinegar and lemon, a little garlicky, and well flavored from the herbs. It looked like a lot at first, but once the pasta had marinated in it overnight, the quantity was perfect. I'll definitely be making this one again. Thanks so much for sharing!
