Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 appetizers or 2 main courses

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup canola oil
Kosher salt
One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed under cold water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 cup shredded carrots
4 breakfast radishes, thinly sliced
1 bunch Tuscan kale, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 5 packed cups)
1 Persian cucumber, sliced into half-moons
1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • For the peanut vinaigrette: Whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the canola oil and season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
  • For the kale salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Spread the garbanzo beans on the prepared baking sheet, rolling them lightly over the paper towels to remove excess liquid. Remove the paper towels, add the olive oil, and toss the garbanzos to coat. Bake until the garbanzos are deep golden brown and crispy, 25 minutes. Season immediately with salt. Let cool completely.
  • Combine the carrots, radishes, kale, cucumbers and peppers in a large bowl; season with salt. Dress the salad with about a third of the dressing; since the kale is such a sturdy green, it can be dressed an hour or two ahead. (Refrigerate the remaining dressing to use on other salads or as a marinade.) Just before serving, toss with the crispy garbanzo beans and roasted peanuts.

SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE



Simple Vinaigrette image

We followed the standard 3-to-1 oil-to-vinegar ratio for this super simple vinaigrette. For variety, add your favorite dried or chopped fresh herbs. Make a batch at the beginning of the week, and toss a few tablespoons with fresh greens for a quick weeknight salad. But remember that vinaigrette isn't just for salad: You can also use it as a quick sauce for fish or grilled chicken.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup white, red or aged sherry vinegar
2 to 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Set a medium bowl on a kitchen towel shaped like an "O" (this helps keep the bowl steady while whisking). Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in the bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is combined and blended well. Use right away, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

ASIAN PEANUT VINAIGRETTE



Asian Peanut Vinaigrette image

A nice light Asian inspired salad dressing or dipping sauce that goes well on a salad or as accompanining sauce for entrees and apps. You can adjust the heat according to your personal tastes. Start small with the pepper, and work your way up if you are not sure. You can interchange the lemon juice with lime or orange, depending on your taste and what you have on hand. As far as the fish sauce goes, its one of those things that on its own, not so good, but add it to something, and it really brings up the flavor. Enjoy.

PEANUT-LIME VINAIGRETTE



Peanut-Lime Vinaigrette image

This is my variation of the vinaigrette from Recipe #31110. I used peanut oil instead of canola and sesame oil because I like the flavour. I also added a bit more sugar because I tend to lean toward sweeter things. If you'd prefer less sweetness cut the sugar by half.
