Ingredients

¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from one lime
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoons honey
2½ tablespoons sugar
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1-inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
4 cups chopped Napa cabbage or shredded coleslaw mix (I like to toss in a little shredded red cabbage for color)
1 cup prepared shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 small English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
1 cup cooked and shelled edamame
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

For the dressing, combine all of the ingredients except for the cilantro in a blender and process until completely smooth. Add the cilantro and blend for a few seconds until the cilantro is finely chopped. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the salad, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. If serving right away, drizzle the peanut dressing over top and toss; otherwise, serve the dressing on the side so the salad doesn't get soggy.

Categories Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 3/4 c.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind

Steps:

Blend mustard and peanut butter, then gradually beat in orange juice.
Stir in yogurt and orange rind and beat until blended and smooth.
Chill until needed.

Tips:

Use fresh citrus: Fresh citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, and oranges, provide the best flavor for this dressing. If you don't have fresh citrus on hand, you can use bottled citrus juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
Toast the peanuts: Toasting the peanuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast the peanuts in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-10 minutes.
Use a good quality peanut butter: The peanut butter you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dressing. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
Adjust the consistency: The consistency of the dressing can be adjusted by adding more or less water. If you want a thinner dressing, add more water. If you want a thicker dressing, add less water.
Use the dressing immediately: This dressing is best used immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This citrus peanut dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for salads, grilled vegetables, and tofu. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or chicken satay. The dressing is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy dressing, give this citrus peanut dressing a try.
