Kale is healthy for you but tends to be strong in flavor. This salad with the peanut dressing cuts down the strong taste of kale. Key is not to overly saturate the salad with the dressing. I squeeze out excess dressing.

I eat this salad at M Cafe de Chaya every time I have a chance; this is my attempt to recreate the recipe here with help from a lot of internet searching- I found a video of the chef making this recipe on a blog. The amounts are very approximate; I haven't tested this at home yet.

Time 12m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 bunches kale
1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons brown rice syrup or 2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 red onion
chopped peanuts

Steps:

Take the Kale off the stalks and blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes.
Take it out of the boiling water and put it into an ice water bath to stop cooking and keep kale bright green.
Make the dressing: combine garlic, ginger, salt, brown rice syrup, brown rice vinegar, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper in a blender until smooth.
If it is too thick, add hot water 1 tbsp at a time until dressing is desired consistency.
Remove kale from water and drain as much water out as possible. If you want, you can use paper towels to get more water out.
Toss with the dressing and mix in some red onions sliced very thinly and chopped peanuts.
There may be some dressing left over- it will keep in the fridge for a few days.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-chopped kale or a salad mix that includes kale.
Massage the kale with the dressing to help break down the tough fibers and make it more tender.
Use a variety of toppings to add flavor and texture to the salad, such as roasted peanuts, crumbled tofu, or quinoa.
If you don't have peanut butter, you can use another creamy nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Kale salad with peanut vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The kale is packed with nutrients, and the peanut vinaigrette adds a creamy and flavorful dressing. This salad is also very versatile, so you can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste.
