Kale Salad With Peanut Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk peanut oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, dry mustard, salt, Worcestershire sauce, water, and sesame oil together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
• Combine kale, chopped peanuts, Parmesan cheese, dry-roasted peanuts, cilantro, and mint leaves together in a bowl; add dressing and toss to coat. Let salad sit for a few minutes for flavors to blend.

Steps:

• Take the Kale off the stalks and blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes.
• Take it out of the boiling water and put it into an ice water bath to stop cooking and keep kale bright green.
• Make the dressing: combine garlic, ginger, salt, brown rice syrup, brown rice vinegar, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper in a blender until smooth.
• If it is too thick, add hot water 1 tbsp at a time until dressing is desired consistency.
• Remove kale from water and drain as much water out as possible. If you want, you can use paper towels to get more water out.
• Toss with the dressing and mix in some red onions sliced very thinly and chopped peanuts.
• There may be some dressing left over- it will keep in the fridge for a few days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the garlic cloves on a piece of foil and fold to wrap up. Put on a small baking sheet and roast until the garlic is completely softened and just beginning to brown, about 25 minutes. Carefully unwrap the foil and let cool.
• When the garlic is cool enough to handle, peel the skins and transfer the cloves to a blender. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, honey, anchovy, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of black pepper and puree until smooth. With the blender running, stream in the olive oil until well combined and emulsified. Add the Parmesan and pulse just to combine.
• Pour about 1/2 cup of the dressing into the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add the kale and drizzle the top with another 1/2 cup of dressing. Using your hands, massage the dressing into the kale, coating all the pieces. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper or more dressing before serving.

Steps:

• For the peanut vinaigrette: Whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the canola oil and season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• For the kale salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Spread the garbanzo beans on the prepared baking sheet, rolling them lightly over the paper towels to remove excess liquid. Remove the paper towels, add the olive oil, and toss the garbanzos to coat. Bake until the garbanzos are deep golden brown and crispy, 25 minutes. Season immediately with salt. Let cool completely.
• Combine the carrots, radishes, kale, cucumbers and peppers in a large bowl; season with salt. Dress the salad with about a third of the dressing; since the kale is such a sturdy green, it can be dressed an hour or two ahead. (Refrigerate the remaining dressing to use on other salads or as a marinade.) Just before serving, toss with the crispy garbanzo beans and roasted peanuts.

Steps:

• Toss kale, bell pepper, and carrots in a large bowl.
• Puree vegetable oil, cidervinegar, salted peanuts,light-brown sugar,and coarse salt in a blenderuntil smooth.
• Pour dressing over vegetables just beforeserving. Sprinkle with salted peanuts,coarsely chopped.
