Spicy Peanut Herb Kale Salad

I love a food processor salad! It’s delicate because the kale and herbs are shredded and sliced with a food processor and the salad is ready in minutes.

Coconut Ginger Marinade (marinade is enough for 2lbs of protein)

  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or sub fresh ginger (I love Ginger People)

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/2 Lime, juiced

Directions

Herby Kale Salad

Wash all of your greens and push them one by one through the food processor on the thin-slice blade. Pour into a salad bowl and toss with peanut dressing.

Spicy Peanut Dressing

Whisk all ingredients together except for the water; add water slowly until desired thickness is achieved. * this really depends on the amount of oil in your peanut butter – if your peanut butter is oily, add less water.

** If you want to be super efficient you can make the peanut dressing in the bottom of the food processor with the traditional blade and then switch to the thin slice blade slicing all of your ingredients on top of the dressing. Use a silicon spatula to move all of the greens and dressing into a serving bowl and toss to combine.

Coconut Ginger Marinade

Marinate protein for 30 minutes to an hour prior to grilling or roasting.
