Ingredients

For the Salad

2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
3 cups shredded napa cabbage
2 cups shredded red cabbage
2 cups chopped kale
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
2 green onions, sliced
0.5 cup cilantro leaves
0.5 cup chopped peanuts

For the Dressing

0.25 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup peanut butter
2 teaspoons sriracha
water to thin

Instructions

Preparation

Make the dressing by combining all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Shred both types of cabbage. I use a mandoline for this (use the guard! Be careful!). Shred the lettuce and chop the kale with a knife.
Cut the carrots into matchsticks and slice the green onions.
Combine the lettuce, both types of cabbage, kale, and carrots in a large bowl.
Add half of the dressing and mix to combine. Add more dressing as needed.
Add most of the green onions, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. Mix well.
To serve, garnish with the rest of the green onions, cilantro, and chopped peanuts.

Notes

Adjust the dressing to your taste preference, adding more soy sauce or vinegar as needed.
