Peanut Lime Salad Dressing

• 2 Tbs fresh lime juice
• 2-3 Tb water
• 3 Tb oil (I use grapeseed or olive oil)
• 1 Tb. Sesame seed oil. (1.5 if you want a richer flavor)
• 1 Tb. Honey
• 2 cloves of crushed/minced garlic
• 1-2 Tb rice vinegar (depends on how bright you like it)
• 1.5 Tb. Soy sauce
• 1 tsp (less for kids). Asian chili paste
• ¼ cup peanut butter

Whisk all ingredients together by hand.  (A blender will tend to burn the dressing)

Use it on shredded cabbage, misc. chopped greens, lettuce that might be a tad bitter from warm weather.

You can fill it out with buckwheat noodles and chicken for a meal-in-a-bowl.

Top it with slivered green scallions.

Store in the fridge.  Bring to room temp before tossing your salad.
