Ingredients

1 cup green beans
1 tsp tamari
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
2 tsp sesame oil
2 shallots
2 bundles lacinato kale
3 whole carrots
1/2 red bell pepper
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro or basil (optional)
1/3 cup roasted salted cashews
1/3 cup salted cashew butter
1 tbsp tamari
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili garlic sauce (optional)

Steps

Trim and thinly slice the green beans, shallots, kale, carrots, and bell pepper.
Whisk the cashew butter, tamari, ginger, lime juice, maple syrup, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce with enough water to make a pourable dressing.
Toss the kale with half the dressing for 2 minutes to soften the leaves.
Add the green beans, shallots, carrots, bell pepper, and herbs, then toss well.
Mix the remaining tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup, and sesame seeds with the cashews.
Top the salad with the cashew mixture and chill for 10 minutes.
