Garlic-Parmesan Pasta Salad

Pasta salad that can truly be classified as a salad!

A friend of mine was asking me for a salad recipe, and I was reminded of this beauty. It’s a sure favorite, and I incorporated olives to my original recipe to add some fun.

If you want a pasta salad without the guilt, this is for you. The dressing is a garlicky, lemony mix of mayonnaise and yogurt and the kale adds texture and nutrients to this delicious dish. It even tastes better the next day!
