Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Salad

0 Begin by adding your kale to a large salad bowl and seasoning with lemon juice, salt and optional olive oil. Use your hands to massage for 15-30 seconds until tender. Add the remaining salad ingredients to the bowl with the kale.
1 Add all ingredients for the dressing to a blender and puree until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt, pepper, or adjust sweetness to your liking with additional maple syrup.
2 Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. This salad can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance. If you're prepping it for a week of meal prep, wait to dress until ready to eat.
