Ingredients
- For the salad:
- 1 dry pint Pure Flavor® Juno® Bites Red Grape Tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed
- 8 oz kale, chopped
- 2 cups penne pasta
- ½ cup Parmesan, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the dressing:
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Make the vinaigrette first and set it aside.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add the pasta and boil until tender (7-8 minutes). Drain the pasta in a colander and allow it to cool.
Step 3
Add the kale to a large bowl. Drizzle ⅓ of the prepared balsamic dressing over the kale and then use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale. Massage the kale for 3-5 minutes or until it has wilted to half its volume.
Step 4
Add the drained and cooled pasta to the bowl with the kale and tomatoes, onions, chickpeas, and parmesan.
Step 5
Pour the rest of the dressing and stir the salad combined and coated in the dressing.
Step 6
Add salt and pepper, then serve.
