INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bunch kale, well washed, thick stems removed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 apple, cored and halved lengthwise
  • 1 pear, cored and halved lengthwise
  • Peanut Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
  • 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey, agave, or sugar
  • 1 medium garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • ½ jalapeño, seeded and chopped; or a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

PREPARATION

  1. Place all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend until creamy.
  2. Cut kale into ribbons about ¼–½ inches wide and 1–2 inches long.
  3. Massage kale with 1 teaspoon olive oil for about 2 minutes or until kale leaves are dark green, shiny, and tender.
