Asian Kale Slaw with Ginger Peanut Dressing

By Jennifer Segal
Servings: 6
Total Time: 20 Minutes
Ingredients

For the Salad:
4 cups chopped curly kale, thick stems removed (be sure it's dry)
3 cups prepared shredded red cabbage
2 cups prepared shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, sliced into bite-sized pieces
3/4 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

For the Dressing:
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, from one lime
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sugar
1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
1-inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sriracha
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

Instructions:

1) Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Bake the almonds until lightly golden and fragrant, 5-10 minutes (or buy them pre-toasted at Trader Joe's.) Keep a close eye on them; nuts burn quickly. Let cool.

2) Combine all of the ingredients for the salad in a large mixing bowl.

3) Combine all of the ingredients for the dressing in a food processor or blender; process until smooth and creamy.

4)Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Serve immediately.
