Equipment
- 1 smoothie blender
- Measuring Spoons
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- ½ cup Olive Oil or neutral flavored oil that you like
- ¼ cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1 clove Garlic small to medium
- 2 teaspoon Fresh Ginger about 1"
- pinch of Red Pepper flakes or a dash of Sriracha is optional
Instructions
- Measure all of the ingredients and add them to a smoothie blender.
- Blend the dressing for 30-60 seconds.
- Check the dressing for thickness. You can add 1-3 teaspoons of warm water if needed to reach your desired consistency. You want the dressing to be thin enough to pour, but thick enough to hold on to your lettuce.
- Taste and adjust. This is the step most people skip, and it's the most important one.
- Transfer to a jar. Pour the dressing into an airtight container. It will thicken slightly as it sits in the fridge, so if it looks a little loose right now, that's fine. It'll tighten up.
