Ingredients
  • Legume pasta 500 g
  • Lentils, cooked and cooled 2 cups
  • Pumpkin seeds ½ cup
  • Kale, chopped 1 small bunch
  • Pesto ⅓ cup
  • Balsamic vinegar ⅓ cup
  • Olive oil ¼ cup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • OPTIONAL:
  • Garlic, finely chopped 2 cloves

Method

  1. Cook and rinse the legume pasta. (I undercook it a little, so it does not get gluggy.)
  2. In a big salad bowl combine the pesto, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Add the pasta. Toss well, then add the remaining ingredients.
  4. Serve and enjoy! wink

Extra Notes

Option to use 2 cans of store-bought organic lentils (rinsed).
