salad dressing #1: spicy peanut
This dressing has a bit of a kick with the addition of hot chili sauce but not so much that the kids ran from it screaming. I use a Sriracha HOT chili sauce but anything with some heat will substitute well.
I make each salad dressing as needed which is reflected in ingredient amounts. You can double or triple the recipe as required. These amounts suit the lunch time needs of two adults and two children.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp organic natural peanut butter*
3 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp hot sauce
fresh ground black pepper to taste
splash lemon juice to taste
splash of balsamic vinegar to taste
Combine all ingredients and whisk until well combined. Can be made ahead and refrigerated but should be brought to room temperature before serving and rewhisked.
*organic natural is my preference but any peanut butter you prefer will also work. Remember that processed peanut butters have a lot of added salt which will be reflected in the taste of the dressing.
Yum!!!
