Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon peanut butter

1 tablespoon tightly packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs

(parsley tarragon, and/or chives)

1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

5 tablespoons malt vinegar

3/4 cup peanut oil

 

1. Blend the peanut butter, brown sugar, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper to a

smooth paste in a small mixing bowl.

 

2. Whisk the vinegar into the peanut butter mixture until evenly blended.

 

3. The vinaigrette can be used immediately, or may be stored in the refrigerator

for up to 5 days.

 

Preparation Notes: If the vinaigrette has been refrigerated, allow it to return

to room temperature before serving it, and whisk it vigorously to properly

recombine all of the ingredients.

 

Serving Suggestions: After tossing the salad with this dressing, sprinkle it

with chopped dry-roasted or plain peanuts.

 

Try this vinaigrette drizzled over stir-fried vegetables or cooked grains or

pasta. It also makes an excellent dipping sauce for crudite.

A natural peanut butter--prepared without any added sugar--is the best choice

pleasant and intense " peanut " aroma.

 

Makes about 1 cup, or enough for 10 individual salads.
