My Favorite Peanut dressing
I like this dressing on salads, but it can be used for fresh spring rolls as well. I have searched for a long time to find a dressing that has the right "Yum" factor and I think this one has it.
-
1/4 cup peanut butter
-
2 Tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
-
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice from limes.
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons honey
-
1-1/2 tablespoons sugar or Xylitol (optional)
-
2 garlic cloves peeled
-
1 -inch square piece fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped.
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Preparation:
Place all ingredients except crushed peanuts and cilantro in a powerful blender and blend, scraping down the sides with a silicone spatula and reblending until all ingredients are creamy.
Use a silicone spatula to remove the dressing from the blender to a small serving bowl (you'll want to get every last bit) add crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro leaves on top and serve.
