Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded kale, broccoli florets, chopped red cabbage, diced cucumber, diced red pepper, shredded carrots, chopped avocado, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, and roughly chopped salted peanuts. Toss everything together gently to mix the ingredients, making sure the colorful veggies are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the natural creamy peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, finely minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and water. Keep whisking until the dressing is smooth and creamy, and the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss well to combine. Make sure every piece of vegetable is coated with the delicious peanut dressing. The combination of flavors is going to be fantastic!
- For best results, let the salad sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the veggies to soften slightly, making every bite even more enjoyable.
- When ready to serve, give the salad another gentle toss. If needed, you can add a splash of water to the dressing to thin it out or adjust the seasoning to your taste. Enjoy this vibrant and nutritious salad!
