Creating Roasted Peanut Kale Crunch Salad is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Kale: Wash and dry the kale thoroughly. Remove the stems, and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2. Roast the Peanuts: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the peanuts on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Prepare Other Ingredients: While the peanuts are roasting, chop the red bell pepper, slice the green onions, and shred the carrots. Set aside.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and pepper.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped kale, roasted peanuts, shredded carrots, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
6. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or dressing according to your preference.
8. Serve Immediately: This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
