Kale Pasta Salad

How to make kale pasta salad

How to prepare the kale

Sometimes recipes will say that kale needs to be massaged (it’s naturally quite tough), but I find it’s easier to simply remove the leaves from the stems and then chop the kale finely. This is how I prepare most of my kale salads. The salad dressing will also help soften the kale up a bit.

A few recipe notes

I used a whole salami and cut it up myself. Anything around 8 ounces will work fine – you don’t need to be exact. Feel free to use whatever color bell pepper you prefer. You can make this pasta salad ahead if you wish. It is best freshly made (in my opinion), but the kale won’t go soggy like lettuce does. We were still enjoying the leftovers three days later.
