Took this to a potluck yesterday and received many compliments. I used 3 small packages of the Barilla dried 3-cheese tortellini (cooked, of course) and chopped my onion fine. Also balsamic and red wine vinegar, and added some zest to the dressing, but omitted the parsley as it seemed a waste to buy a whole bunch of fresh parsley for only a bit needed -- figured w/the spinach and oregano, it would be "green" enough. Loved the very lemony flavor of the dressing. Also added some black olives and some bottled greek dressing just before serving, as it seemed a bit dry, since I used more tortellini than called for. Very good! Will definitely make this salad again.

Loved it. I used half red wine vinegar and half balsamic. I also sweetened it with a bit of white sugar. It was delicious!

This was fantastic even though I omitted the eggs. I also added a Tbsp. of brown sugar to vinegarette and substituted cilantro in place of parsley to give it a different kick.

Loved it, loved it, loved it!! I almost took out the baby spinach since I am usually not that big of a fan. I am glad I didn't. I couldn't get enough of this salad and neither could my guests.

My family has been making a recipe like this for years - but has always used Gazebo Room Greek Salad Dressing (available on the east coast or online). It is always a hit!

This was a great salad! I cut the receipe in half, and it made plenty for 3 people. I definitely recommend using balsamic instead of the red wine vinagrette. I think it will give it a little more of "kick." I will definitely make this again. Thank you!

Great on a hot Summer night. I used balsamic vinegar and this was very good with grilled chicken. Thanks Ali!

WE love this recipe. It has been passed along to many co-workers!! I have made it for cookouts and brunch. I usually use a little less spinach and add black olives and tomatoes. YUM!!

Amazing the best meal I have had in a long time. Thank you so much for this jem. I will be making this again and again, very easy. I changed the dressing a little, I copied the recipe for absolutely fabulous greek/house dressing on this site.

This has very good flavor. It tended to be a little dry so next time I will make extra dressing. I also added a handful of olives, cut down the spinach to 10 ounces and used only 2 hardboiled eggs. It still made a ton!

I do not like just pasta salad, but I LOVE the combination of both! Though I found it unecessary to chill for 2 hours, I put mine in the freezer for 30 minutes, shaking it every once in a while to insure it did not actually freeze! Could use a wee bit of extra dressing.
