Kale adds nutrients and is often more affordable in some regions.

Prepare half a head of cabbage and half a head of romaine lettuce.

Shred the cabbage and romaine lettuce, and store this mix in a Ziploc bag in the fridge.

Shred 2 carrots or about 1 cup of shredded carrots and add to the bag.

Slice one bell pepper of your choice thinly and store in the fridge.

Slice 2 green onions thinly and store in the fridge with the bell pepper.

For the dressing, combine 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter, 1 teaspoon of minced or grated fresh ginger, and the juice from 1 fresh lime in a bowl.

Stir the dressing until well blended.

When ready to serve, add the dressing to the sliced bell pepper and green onion mix.

Add the shredded veggie mix bit by bit to the dressing and toss to combine.

Serve with peanuts for added crunch or red pepper flakes for an added kick.
