Looking for a quick and easy salad? Kale Asian Pasta Salad Recipe is for you. Not only is it easy to make, but this salad is also full of veggies and flavor. If you’re looking for a healthy and flavorful Asian pasta salad look no further.
I love Kale, not only because of its nutritional value. Kale also maintains it’s firmness, even after being dressed. The salad also contains very little pasta, so if you are worried about carbs, you have nothing to worry about. An Asian pasta salad like this holds onto flavor from all the different ingredients.
Although the main elements of the salad are vegetable-based, the mandarin organs bring this dish together. Visually it looks beautiful!
With 10 minutes of prep time while the pasta cooks, you will have dinner in under 20 minutes and lunch the next day. I generally eat a salad today and save the rest of the Asian pasta salad for tomorrow.
