Instructions
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add in the Romano beans, and allow them to cook for 5 minutes. Strain them from the pot and set aside to cool.
- In large bowl, combine the kale and carrot greens. Set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the mango, ginger, lime and onion. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over your kale and carrot greens, and massage for a minute or two.
- Add in the remaining ingredients, except for the pistachios, and toss until combined.
- The salad may be served immediately, but I would suggest letting it sit for at least 1 hour.
- To serve, top with crush pistachios.
Notes
Leave out the cooked Romano beans if a completely raw salad is desired.
