Nice, simple recipe. I'll give that a try without the bacon and maybe replace it with smoked fish.
Sounds good. Perhaps you can let us know how you get on.
Sounds like it could be a tasty recipe! I'll have to try it out sometime soon, since it seems like spring is just around the corner here in Maine.
That would be good Randy. Please let us know what you think if and when you do!
Tried this recipe tonight; well sort of!
I forgot to buy kale, so used broccoli tips and asparagus spears and replaced the bacon with smoked haddock. Also added some pesto. It tasted superb.
Improvised recipes work out just as well and in some cases probably better than the original recipes. Glad you liked it.
I like pasta salads and this one looks good.
It is. Let us know what you think, if you get to make it.
Any summer recipes on their way?
Not that the weather in the UK knows it's nearly summer. 🙁
You'd think it was September again, the weather's so miserable!
Watch out for some lovely summer salads.
