Ingredients:
Salad:
- Large handful of kale, leaves picked from stalks (discard stalks)
- 1/4 red cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 Chinese cabbage, shredded
- 1 red or yellow pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 3 spring onions, sliced
- Small handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
- Small handful of fresh mint leaves, sliced
- 30g roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
Dressing:
- 1 tbsp sriracha (or chilli sauce of your choice)
- Thumb of ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tsp honey
- Pinch of salt
Method:
-
Combine all the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl and set to one side.
-
Add all the dressing ingredients to a food processor and blend, adding a splash of water if it’s too thick (it should be of a pouring consistency to dress the salad). Taste the dressing and add more of whichever flavour you’d like to have a stronger presence – if you prefer it more spicy for example, add a bit more chilli sauce.
-
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix thoroughly to combine before serving.
Serves 2.
