Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Soak the Peanuts

   Add 1 cup of raw organic peanuts to a bowl. Pour in enough water to cover the peanuts and allow them to soak for about 2 hours. Soaking helps to release phytates.

2. 2.Rinse and Cook the Peanuts

   After 2 hours, the peanuts will be nicely soaked. Rinse the soaked peanuts a couple of times under running water. Transfer the rinsed peanuts into a saucepan. Add water and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the flame to the lowest setting and allow the peanuts to cook until tender.

3. 3.Drain and Cool Peanuts

   Once the peanuts are cooked, remove the saucepan from the stove and transfer the peanuts onto a strainer to drain the water. Allow the peanuts to cool down completely.

4. 4.Prepare the Vegetables

   While the peanuts are cooling, prepare the other ingredients. In a large bowl, add 1 medium-sized chopped cucumber, 1/2 chopped onion, 1 grated carrot, 1 finely chopped green chili (adjust to your taste), a small piece of finely chopped ginger, 1 medium-sized deseeded and chopped tomato, and some fresh finely chopped coriander leaves.

5. 5.Add Spices and Sauerkraut

   To the vegetables, add 1/3 teaspoon of black salt (kala namak), 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt (remember salt was added while cooking peanuts, so adjust accordingly), 1/4 teaspoon of chaat masala (optional, but adds amazing flavor), 1/2 teaspoon of roasted cumin powder (jeera powder), and 1 tablespoon of sauerkraut for a gut-friendly, probiotic boost.

6. 6.Combine and Mix

   Add the cooked and cooled peanuts to the bowl with the vegetables and spices. Squeeze the juice of 1 whole lemon over the ingredients. Give everything a good mix until all ingredients are well combined.

7. 7.Serve

   Transfer the super healthy peanut salad to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with some additional finely chopped coriander leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy this oil-free, protein-rich, and fiber-rich salad.
