Lime-peanut Dressing Recipe


Lime-peanut Dressing Recipe
This is a quick and easy salad dressing I made with ingredients I had on hand at the time. I had pad thai flavors in mind at the time and it worked out very nicely.

Ingredients
  • Juice of 5 key limes, about 1/4 cup or so (or whatever will end up with about a 1:1 ratio between the lime juice and the amount of oil you're going to use)
  • 1 tbsp dark shitake soy sauce
  • 2 tsp crunchy, all natural peanut butter
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • a few drops of sesame oil
  • 2 tsp hot sauce (I used a mild, garlic flavored one)
  • as much salt, pepper, and garlic powder as you'd like (or fresh chopped garlic, I was just being lazy with this one)
  • fresh cilantro or basil, or both
  • equal amount of oil to the lime juice (I used a light soybean/olive oil blend)

Directions
  1. Juice the limes (This is probably the most time consuming part of the recipe)
  2. Add all the ingredients, except for the oil, into the lime juice and mix well.
  3. Into that drizzle some oil all while stirring with a fork or whisk in the same direction so that you form an emulsion. Stop when you get the viscosity and flavor-intensity you'd like.
  4. All measurements are approximate, I rarely measure when I cook.

I love Thai peanut sauces, and this sounds very good - I hope to try this soon (I think it would be very nice with lettuce wraps!)...thank you!


It's generally accepted that almost all vinaigrettes have a 2:1 ratio... i'm not sure how it would work any other way. i really wouldn't reccommend deviating from that. otherwise it will taste unbalanced.


Eh...when I made it it tasted great, but I've never been a stickler for rules and I've never heard that as a hard and fast one..the ratio of oil to liquid also has a lot to do with emulsification and thickening, though I suppose if you don't want as strong of a dressing adding more oil would help that...also the peanut butter provides a good deal of oil/fat


I love recipes like this!

Thank You!
