Instructions
- Prepare the Kale: In a large bowl, massage the chopped kale with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes until it softens. This helps to break down the fibers and makes it more tender.
- Mix the Vegetables: Add the diced mango, sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the kale.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. Add water a little at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Combine: Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts before serving. Enjoy immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
