This is a super quick and easy dressing.
If you are looking for something to pop a plain salad? Try this! this is the dressing you should try. Not only is it the perfect dressing on a simple salad, it takes Buddha grains and veggie bowls to a whole new level. Try this fantastic dressing as a dip for fresh veggies or even crispy oven chicken strips.
It is full of flavor, with a thick and creamy texture – you would never know it only has a fraction of the fat of regular peanut dressing.
The key to this dressing is using really great peanut powder (my favorite is Crazy Richard’s Pure PB. I buy it at the local Publix grocery store), and fresh good quality tofu. The surprise ingredient is nutritional yeast which bumps up the umami taste.
DELICIOUS!
Enjoy!!!
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 lime zest and juice You can leave out the lime and just use 2 tbsp of the seasoned rice vinegar. I make it both ways and both are delicious.
- 3 tbsp pressed peanut powder Best brand: Crazy Richard's Pure PB
- 1/4 cup soft fresh tofu
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 3 tbsp fresh cilantro minced
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast I love this stuff - it is delicious! It adds a really rich umami flavor.
- 2 whole green onions (white and green parts)
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and de-veined. OPTIONAL
- Assemble ingredients (I usually add a jalapeño - not pictured here)
- Add all ingredients to your blender. I take the time to grate the garlic, only because I want to make sure I do not have any large chunks of garlic!
- Blend...
- ...until smooth and creamy.
- Keep in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed jar. It stays yummy in the fridge for a week!
- This dressing is so amazing on a Buddha bowl! The rich savory peanut taste goes perfectly with the mixed grains and the fresh vegetables.
- YUM!
