Kale Slaw with Peanut Dressing

This one's a crowd pleaser!...

- a large bunch of kale
- a red pepper
- a large carrot
- 1 cup of roasted salted peanuts
- 1/3 of a cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 a teaspoon salt
- a pinch of red pepper flakes

Wash the kale well and remove the center rib. Roll a stack of leaves together and slice into very fine ribbons. You will have a large bowl of chopped kale in the end.
Cut the red pepper into fine strips and add to the bowl.
Slice the carrot very fine. You can use a vegetable peeler and create curls. Add to the bowl along with 2/3 of a cup of the peanuts.
In a small food processor, put the remaining 1/3 of a cup peanuts, oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes. Pulse just a few times so that the peanuts are partially pureed.
Toss the dressing with the slaw and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
