Sesame-Peanut Dressing Or Sauce This easy-to-make recipe can be made in advance and used in a variety of ways. For a salad, I like to toss it with shredded cabbage and scallions for an Asian slaw, or with shredded or finely chopped lettuce for a savory salad with diced tomatoes or fresh fruit. I also like to use it as a sauce on tofu, seafood, poultry or meat. It can be used as a dip — just use your imagination! All of that, and it contains zero cholesterol and very few calories for the flavor impact it has. Once you have made it, you definitely will want to make it again. SESAME-PEANUT DRESSING OR SAUCE 1/4 cup rice vinegar 2 garlic cloves, cut into halves 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons unhomogenized peanut butter 1/4 cup dark sesame oil 1/2 cup water Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Makes 1 cup. Each 2-tablespoon serving contains approximately: 86 calories; 9 gm fat; 0 mg cholesterol; 53 mg sodium; 2 gm carbohydrates; 1 gm protein; negligible fiber.
