Kale is a hearty, meaty green so I made this recipe as a vegetarian variation on a Thai beef salad.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 4 carrots, thinly sliced
- 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 8 leaves kale, stemmed and torn into pieces
- 5 sprigs fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- ½ teaspoon lime zest, or to taste
- 1 small cucumber, cut into matchstick-size pieces (Optional)
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts (Optional)
- 4 sprigs fresh mint, roughly chopped (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat; add olive oil and swirl around in skillet. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic and ginger are slightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Stir carrots and celery into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add kale and cilantro; cook and stir until kale is slightly wilted, about 45 seconds. Stir lime juice, fish sauce, and lime zest into kale mixture until kale is evenly coated in lime juice.
Step 3
Serve kale salad topped with cucumber, peanuts, and mint.
Cook’s Notes:
If you are unable to find fish sauce, try a 50-50 blend of rice wine vinegar and soy sauce; frankly, it works but doesn't taste the same.
