Ingredients

• 6 cups Kale
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 cup Red cabbage
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 1 cup Slivered almonds
• 1 teaspoon Curry powder
• 3 tablespoons Almond butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the kale. Wash the kale leaves thoroughly, remove the tough stems, and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the large carrot and grate it using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the kale.

Step 3

Thinly slice the red cabbage into fine shreds, and add 1 cup of it to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Chop the green onions into small rounds (both the green and white parts) and add them to the bowl as well.

Step 5

In a small, dry skillet over low heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool for a moment.

Step 6

Prepare the dressing by combining the almond butter, curry powder, lemon juice, tamari or soy sauce, maple syrup, a minced garlic clove, water, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl or blender. Whisk or blend until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the dressing is too thick to drizzle.

Step 7

Pour the curried almond dressing over the prepared vegetables in the mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the kale and vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 8

Top the slaw with the toasted slivered almonds for crunch and garnish, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish, or let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes to marinate and soften the kale leaves before serving. Enjoy!
