Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain pasta well.
  • Combine pasta, kale, carrots, cherry tomatoes, olives, cucumber, bell pepper, and shallot in a bowl. Stir together Greek dressing and mayo in a bowl and drizzle over salad. Mix until well combined.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale. Look for kale that is dark green and has no signs of wilting or yellowing. The leaves should be crisp and not limp.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly. Kale can be gritty, so it's important to wash it well before using it. Rinse the leaves under cold water and then pat them dry.
  • Massage the kale. This will help to break down the tough fibers in the kale and make it more tender. To massage the kale, simply rub it with your hands for a few minutes until it becomes slightly wilted.
  • Don't overdress the salad. Kale is a hearty green, so it doesn't need a lot of dressing. A simple vinaigrette or olive oil and lemon juice is all you need.
  • Add other ingredients to your salad. Kale is a versatile green that can be paired with a variety of other ingredients. Some popular additions include roasted vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruits.

Conclusion:

Kale salad is a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of greens. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its slightly bitter flavor and crunchy texture, kale is a great addition to any salad. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give kale salad a try!
