Thai Kale Salad with Creamy Peanut Sauce
I have been making lots of salads lately, this one is for my husband because peanut and I aren’t friends and I’m staying away from sweeteners. This Thai Kale salad is a lovely salad with the addition of bell peppers and carrots are perfect for company. I have been sharing recipes for someone on the first phase of candida diet. This recipe can be easily tweaked to be candida friendly by, substituting the peanuts for sunflower seeds. For the peanut sauce, substitute the peanut butter for sunflower butter or your favorite nut butter remove the coconut palm sugar and use coconut aminos only.
Talking about company, we are so excited because we have a new puppy called Macho, he is a big puppy and for a 6 month old we have to remind our selves that he is not that old. He is an Italian mastiff and he is so playful, loveable and adorable. He just loves to be around us and I can tell he is not a loner.He is the perfect companion for Daevyd, who looks forward to spending time with his new pet. By the time the day is finished, Daevyd is ready to go to bed.

This sounds fantastic! I love the creamy dressing (and the non-peanut eaters version). Perfect for me :)
Your new puppy is so huge and beautiful. I love big dogs because they are more protective than the smaller ones. Your Kale Salad is so colorful and looks healthy. Kale is hard for me, but, If this was in front of me, I would eat the whole salad.
Love kale always no matter how it is prepared. Love this salad for sure and peanut sauce is my favorite salad dressing of all times!
I have been all about salads too. This one sounds amazing. I love the peanut sauce with the kale. Macho is so cute!
I’m always looking for ways to get more veggies into my diet and love that this includes peanut sauce, which is one of my favorite things!
I look forward to trying your peanut sauce version- it looks much lighter than the version I normally make, and I love the idea of using it on a salad instead of pasta. Kale is so sturdy I bet you can make this ahead without it getting too soggy too. Thanks.
I am such a big fan of Thai flavors and this salad sounds spot on – I love the flavors in that peanut sauce! I could eat this for every meal and be a happy girl. ;)
This is one way that everyone can enjoy Kale :)
Love this kale salad! The sweetness of the bell peppers works perfectly here to to round it all out! And Macho is so cute! What a BIG puppy ;) XOXO
I love this peanut butter dressing the addition of coconut palm sugar is perfect. I’m not interested in a sauce which contains regular sugar or other bad stuff so this is pretty amazing to me. The salad itself is pretty cool and of course crunchy, definitely will give this a try. Have fun with the new family member! :)
