Kale is a hearty, meaty green so I made this recipe as a vegetarian variation on a Thai beef salad.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

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

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

Steps:

  • 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.

I would not recommend this salad. It was bland and unflavorful.

Overall, this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The kale was a bit too tough for my liking. I would recommend massaging the kale with the dressing for a few minutes before cooking it.

The dressing was a bit too oily for my liking. I would recommend using less oil or using a lighter oil, such as olive oil.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili peppers or omitting them altogether.

I wasn't sure about the warm dressing, but it actually worked really well with the kale. The salad was still refreshing, but the warm dressing added a nice touch of comfort.

I added some grilled chicken to this salad for a protein boost. It was a great addition!

This is a great salad to meal prep for the week. It holds up well in the fridge and is just as delicious the next day.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the carrots and bell peppers pairs perfectly with the tangy dressing.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of veggies. It's packed with kale, carrots, and bell peppers, and the dressing is light and flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of kale, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is so flavorful and the kale is surprisingly tender.

This warm Thai kale salad was a delightful explosion of flavors in my mouth! The combination of sweet, sour, and savory was perfectly balanced, and the kale was cooked to perfection – not too soft, not too crunchy.
