Ingredients

• 2 bunches of kale, clean and thinly sliced
• 1 cup carrots, shredded
• 1/2 cup lightly salted, roasted peanuts
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup canola or peanut oil
• 2 T smooth natural peanut butter (no sugar)
• 1 T light brown sugar
• Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

1. Prep the kale: Wash it. Remove the stems. Slice thinly.
2. Prepare the dressing: Add the vinegar, oil, peanut butter, sugar and salt to a blender or small bowl. Blend or whisk until creamy.
3. Massage the kale: After prepping the kale, add the dressing and with clean hands give the leaves a rub down. Massage the dressing into the kale for 3-5 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the kale fiber starts to break down and the kale takes on a silky, dark green appearance.
4. Add the carrots and toss.
5. Sprinkle on the peanuts and serve.
