Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine baby kale and spring mix. Rinse cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Finely chop the cilantro.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, a pinch of salt, and a splash of vinegar until smooth. Gradually drizzle in olive oil while whisking to create a creamy dressing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and cilantro to the greens. Drizzle the egg yolk dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

  4. 4

    Top with Peanuts

    Sprinkle the crushed peanuts over the salad just before serving for added crunch.
