Easy Thai Peanut Vingarette

I found this recipe online years ago.  I don't even remember who authored it.  But it's our favorite salad dressing.  You can also use this as a sauce for barbequed Chicken, fish or steaks.  I have even used it as a vegetable dip. Incredibly delicious! 

For ease, you can do it in a blender or with an immersion blender (my choice...less clean up!)

Ingredients
¼ cup water
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup of canola oil
2 tablespoons of sugar or Stevia equivalent
4 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoons of soy sauce (I used low-sodium)
1 teaspoon Sesame oil
¼ teaspoons Ground cumin
Optional:   3 tablespoons Of cilantro leaves
Pinch of red pepper flakes
*For more heat, add ¼ tsp. Red pepper flakes





1.)  Add all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Using a hand blender, mix everything until well incorporated (approx. 30 seconds). If mixing by hand, whisk everything until fully incorporated.
2.)  Toss with your favorite salad and enjoy!
