Have you ever heard the saying that you eat with your eyes first? That’s why I love eating bright, colorful, beautiful food. This salad is a feast for your eyes before you even take a bite.
Kale is one of the most nutrient dense foods, and I love incorporating lots of it into my winter diet. It’s loaded with Vitamins (including Vitamin C for warding off those winter colds), Antioxidants, and Minerals.
Pro tip: If you don’t like raw kale (many people don’t), steam the kale for no more than 30 seconds first. You’ll know it’s steamed enough when it’s a bright green but hasn’t wilted substantially.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted peanut butter
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon coconut aminos

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, rice vinegar, coconut aminos, lime juice, and water. Mix with a fork until completely combined.

In a large bowl, combine the kale and dressing. Massage the dressing into the kale. This coats the kale evenly, marinates the kale in the dressing a bit, and helps break down the toughness of the raw kale.
