When my son was born over 13 years ago, I first experienced this. I received this dish from my talented cook brother. It is a simple dish that can be prepared in advance and chilled.

Super zesty and yummy! HOWEVER, there is way too much dressing. I had to strain my salad at the end and almost half of the dressing dripped off. Next time I will half the recipe.
Delicious! Omitted lemon juice and mint but only because it wasn’t on hand. Didn’t have fresh cilantro but squirted some from tube into dressing.
add extra kale — a little too much peanuts and needs more kale but overall delicious!! I tripled the kale and doubled the other ingredients.
