This kale pesto salad is a hearty, comforting, one-bowl meal that is packed with healthy ingredients and delicious flavors. Plus, you can make the pesto and the salad ahead of time so it’s ready to dish up and eat even on busy days!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Kale<\/p>\n

Spring food!! Not only is it colorful, it’s also popping with fresh flavors that have been hibernating all winter. This kale pesto salad is no exception. I love this dish for a spring time lunch or a hearty side dish for dinner. I’ve even added twice the amount of pasta to turn it into an incredible dish to bring to spring or summer cookout with friends.<\/p>\n

Don’t let the abundance of green<\/em> trick you into thinking this isn’t kid-friendly. Both my girls happily ate this for dinner, though I will admit Kaitlyn was most enthusiastic about the noodles (but… the noodles that were coated in kale!<\/em>).<\/p>\n

To make things even more convenient, the pesto (or the whole salad if you prefer) can be made ahead of time. The flavors blend well overnight- just give it a few good stirs before serving. Also, if you want to make it vegan, check out the recipe notes!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
