Prep Salad Veggies
Remove kale leaves from the stems and thinly slice. Add to a large bowl with a squeeze of lime and massage heavily with your hands.
Prep the remaining veggies of choice: thinly slice green onion, cucumber, bell pepper and sugar snap peas. Finely chop herbs. Add it all to the bowl with the kale.
Drizzle dressing over salad, mix and chop up salad very well.
Serve salad topped with roasted peanuts and sriracha.
To make this a complete meal, serve with a protein and carb! I enjoy adding rice or roasted sweet potato and edamame or pan fried tofu!
