Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.

Add pasta and cook 7 minutes.

Add Organic Tuscan Kale and cook about 2-3 more minutes, until noodles are very al dente and Kale is wilted.

Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Drain very well and transfer mixture to a large bowl.

Add 1 bag Haricots Verts, 1 bottle Green Goddess dressing, and 1 cup Toasted Slivered Almonds to bowl and toss to combine. Season to taste with sea salt and toss once more.

Serve immediately, or chill pasta salad for 1 hour.
