Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups kale chopped
  • 1/3 cup parmesan
  • 1/4 cup romano
  • 1/2 cup pasta Trofie is what I used but any will do
  • 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil I used Persian Lime infused
  • 2 tbsp balsamic I used grapefruit infused
  • 1/2 tsp garlic pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil on stove top and add 1/2 cup pasta of choice
  • In a big bowl with lid: place washed and rinsed chopped Kale
  • Chop sun dried tomatoes on a cutting board and set aside
  • Shred romano and Parmesan cheese divide in half and set aside - one half for dressing and one half for garnish.
  • Once pasta is cooked strain well and place pasta in bowl with chopped kale. Its ok that it is hot it will help to wilt down the kale.
  • Add dressing mixture to the kale and pasta.
  • Toss salad well.
  • Add remaining parmesan and romano cheese blends along with extra garlic pepper if desired.
  • Let set in refrigerator for at least an hour. This also does well with overnight.

Dressing

  • In a small bowl add olive oil, balsamic. garlic pepper, onion powder and mix well.
  • Add half of the shredded cheese blends and add to oil mixture.
  • Then add chopped sun dried tomatoes to oil to allow them to combine in flavor.
  • Let set in fridge for an hour or over night and enjoy!

Notes

To save time you can use the pre chopped Kale
You can use freshly chopped 1/2 red onion instead of onion powder if you wish.
Feel free to use regular olive oil and balsamic. I just love my infused ones just adds a little extra flavor. You won't want to skip letting this one set up in refrigerator. You can even make it the night ahead and let it set too. Any left overs will keep good in refrigerator in air tight container for 3-5 days
