Ingredients

  • 2 cups tortellini pasta noodles
  • 2 cups shredded kale stemmed and finely chopped
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes sliced
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Make the Basil Garlic Oil Dressing

Step 2: Prepare the Pasta and Kale

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until it’s al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and let it cool completely.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prep the kale by removing the tough stems and finely chopping the leaves. This ensures a delicious and tender bite in every forkful.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, shredded kale, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Pour the prepared basil garlic oil dressing over the salad.
  • Assemble the Salad

Step 4: Toss and Chill

  • Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is well coated in the flavorful dressing. For an extra flavor boost, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
