Peanut-Lime Salad Dressing

My take on a popular dressing that's great on a main-dish salad with chicken. This particular version is adapted from the website Once Upon a Chef. I've upped the soy sauce and nixed the sugar and salt; I don't see any reason to have honey and sugar or salt and soy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice or more to taste
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil peanut would work well!
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • 1- inch piece fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except for cilantro to a blender, small bowl of food processor, or a container that will accommodate a stick blender. (If you use the latter you can make the dressing in its own storage container and not dirty up the blender or processor bowl.) Process until smooth.

  2. Add cilantro and process briefly.
