Wasabi Cucumber Ranch Dressing image

Zesty wasabi and cool cucumbers are the perfect pairing in this delicious homemade wasabi cucumber salad dressing. It's quick and easy too!

Provided by Jenn Laughlin - Peas and Crayons

Categories     Salad

Time 8m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup chopped english cucumber
1 TBSP chopped red onion
1.5 TBSP wasabi powder ((see notes below))
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup all-natural mayonnaise
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp dried dill (optional)

Steps:

  • Get Blending! After chopping your veggies, add all the above ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
  • The dressing will thicken after spending a little time in the fridge and you can also add 1-2 tablespoons of greek yogurt to thicken immediately. I like my dressings a bit more runny since they cover more ground (aka veggies!) that way. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

½ cup ranch dressing
¼ cup peeled, seeded, and minced cucumber
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Japanese wasabi powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
2 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon whole milk, or more as needed
½ cup plain bread crumbs
½ cup crushed French-fried onions
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Blend ranch dressing, cucumber, 1 tablespoon milk, horseradish, vinegar, wasabi powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper together in a food processor until dip is smooth. Transfer dip to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  • Bring water and chicken broth to a boil; add green beans and cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

  • Working in batches, fry coated green beans in the hot oil until crisp, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Transfer green bean fries to a paper towel-lined colander using a slotted spoon. Serve green bean fries with dip.

CHILI'S SHANGHAI WINGS AND WASABI RANCH DRESSING



CHILI'S SHANGHAI WINGS AND WASABI RANCH DRESSING image

Categories     Chicken     Appetizer

Yield 2 or 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 chicken breast fillets
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 egg
1 cup milk
4 to 8 cups vegetable oil (as required by fryer)
GINGER-CITRUS SAUCE:
1 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon corn starch
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
WASABI-RANCH DRESSING:
1/2 cup Hidden Valley Ranch bottled salad dressing
2 tablespoons buttermilk (or whole milk)
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon powdered wasabi
1 drop green food coloring

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken breast into 6 pieces. Combine flour, salt, peppers and paprika in a medium bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. One or two at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend; then repeat the process so that each piece of chicken is double-coated. When all chicken pieces have been breaded, arrange them on a plate and chill for 15 minutes. Preheat 4 to 8 cups of oil (use the amount required by your fryer) in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. GINGER-CITRUS SAUCE: As the chicken is resting, make the ginger-citrus sauce by dissolving the corn starch in the water. Pour the water into a medium saucepan along with the rest of the sauce ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. When the sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until thick. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool a bit. WASABI-RANCH DRESSING: Make the wasabi-ranch dressing while your ginger-citrus sauce is simmering. Simply whisk together the ranch dressing, buttermilk, prepared horseradish, powdered wasabi, and green food coloring in a small bowl. Cover and chill this until the wings are done. When the chicken has rested and you're ready to cook, lower the boneless wings into the oil and fry for 5 to 6 minutes or until each piece is browned. Depending on the size of your fryer, you may want to fry the chicken in batches so that the chicken isn't too crowded in there. When chicken pieces are done frying, remove them to a draining rack or a plate lined with a couple paper towels. When all the chicken is fried, place the pieces into a covered container such as a large jar with a lid. Pour the Ginger-citrus Sauce over the chicken in the container, cover it up, and then gently shake everything around until each piece of chicken is coated with sauce. Pour the chicken onto a plate and serve the dish with Wasabi-ranch Dressing on the side.
