This Thai-inspired kale and cabbage salad is bursting with freshness, crunch, and flavor. Chopped kale and a mix of red and green cabbage form the base of the detoxifying salad, while cucumber, bell pepper, Thai basil, fresh cilantro, and hot chili peppers add layers of color, texture, and heat. The creamy chili-lime peanut dressing ties everything together with a perfect balance of zesty, spicy, and savory-sweet notes. Packed with antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds, this salad works beautifully as a light main dish or a flavorful side.
