Adding silken tofu to the base of this dressing both enriches it with a little added protein and lends it a satiny texture. You can adjust the amount of water added to create something thicker and dippable for crudités or thinner and drizzly for tossing into salads.

Provided by Denise in da Kitchen

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 40 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup hot water
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
to taste light canola oil

Steps:

  • You will need 1 used-up peanut butter jar - DO NOT RINSE - be sure to leave a little around the sides for flavor. Place all ingredients in jar and then fill with oil almost to the top.
  • Replace the lid and shake until no peanut butter clings to the sides of the jar.
  • FAT-FREE VERSION:.
  • Use left-over tea (any kind, even ordinary pekoe), or fruit juice such as lemonade, limeade or orange juice in place of some or all of the oil.
  • NOTE:
  • To suit my family's tastes I add more fresh ginger, garlic and pepper than called for.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter. This will give your dressing a smooth and creamy texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it in a food processor until it is smooth.
  • Add a touch of sweetness. This can be done with honey, maple syrup, or even sugar. If you are using a natural peanut butter, you may need to add a little more sweetener than if you are using a sweetened peanut butter.
  • Add some acidity. This can be done with lemon juice, lime juice, or even vinegar. Acidity will help to balance out the sweetness of the dressing and give it a more complex flavor.
  • Add some heat. This can be done with cayenne pepper, Sriracha, or even chopped chili peppers. Heat is optional, but it can add a nice depth of flavor to the dressing.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, can add a bright and flavorful touch to the dressing. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.

Conclusion:

Silky peanut butter dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, noodles, and even grilled meats. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dressing, give silky peanut butter dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
