Greek Wraps & Tortellini Salad

Its all Greek to me!

It hit me the other day when I was putting multiple containers of feta cheese in my shopping cart that I apparently really like greek-inspired meals. I not only have feta cheese in my egg whites every morning, but since I discovered this recipe for greek dressing that’s 21-day fix approved, I have been thinking of ways to integrate that dressing into more meals (seriously folks, I could drink this dressing…but I won’t of course, because I’m limited to 1 orange container per day)…

Anyways, I’m going to share with you the recipe for the best greek dressing in the world PLUS two of my favorite dishes that incorporate it.
