Author Marisa Moore, RDN

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of kale clean and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • ½ cup lightly salted roasted peanuts
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup canola or peanut oil
  • 2 T smooth natural peanut butter no sugar
  • 1 T light brown sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  • Prep the kale: Wash it. Remove the stems. Slice thinly.
  • Prepare the dressing: Add the vinegar, oil, peanut butter, sugar and salt to a blender or small bowl. Blend or whisk until creamy.
  • 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.
  • Add the carrots and toss.
  • Sprinkle on the peanuts and serve.
