Chopped Bruschetta Pasta Salad (Edit recipe)

This pasta salad is something I threw together with leftover ingredients. It is super simple to make and I just used ingredients that I had in our fridge. I call it chopped pasta salad because I used regular pasta and chopped it into small pieces using scissors. It was fun to make and absolutely delicious. It made for the perfect lunch! This would also be a great dish to bring to a gathering. You can make it gluten free by using any of the gluten free pastas in the grocery stores! Truly, you can use any pasta of your choice, but it was fun to chop it up the long pieces into bite size. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Notes

For the pasta, you can use whatever pasta you have on hand. You can make it gluten free by using different brands like Eat Banza! I had leftover whole wheat pasta and it worked great, but you can use whatever you like! I chose to use kale because its what we had in our fridge. However, you can use whatever you would like! Fresh basil would be a great addition and it would add the pop of green!
