Super Bowl Salad

Super Bowl Sunday was me and the guys (Keizo and my Dad) so you can probably guess who got left with the responsibility of making dinner. It's okay though...I met my annual quota of football viewing by watching the half time show and the last quarter, which are the most important parts anyway, right?

No Super Bowl "party" no matter how informal is complete without snacks and beer, so we got some ready made sushi, crackers and artichoke dip at the grocery store. We also picked up some red bell pepper and a red onion to make "Greek Tortellini Salad" for dinner.

After chopping the veggies and putting the frozen cheese tortellini in the pot to boil, I got started on the dressing. Olive oil, red wine vinegar, a splash of sherry and some red pepper flakes look so pretty combined in the measuring cup.


Combine pasta, veggies and feta cheese in large bowl and toss with dressing. If you plan ahead, the salad can be chilled, or if you are more like me, eat it right away.


Rounding out the meal were baby carrots with hummus and fresh garlic toast. Kept dinner on the lighter side after all those snacks.

Plus, there was Samoa Girl Scout cookie ice cream for dessert ;-)
