Ingredients
  

For the Salad:
  • 1 bunch kale chopped
  • 2 cups cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 lime lime juiced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce lite (or tamari/coconut aminos)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by washing your kale thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Shred the cabbage, slice the red bell pepper, and thinly slice the red onion. Place all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, and grated ginger until smooth. You may want to adjust the consistency with a little water if it’s too thick.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss gently until everything is well coated.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the salad. Toss lightly to combine.
  5. Your Pad Thai Kale Salad is now ready to be served! You can enjoy it immediately or let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • Massage the kale with olive oil and salt to reduce bitterness.
  • Use natural creamy peanut butter for the best dressing consistency.
  • Dress the salad just before serving to avoid sogginess.
