DRESSING
1/3 c Smooth Peanut Butter
1/3 c Water
2 tb Fresh Lemon Juice
1 1/4 ts Tabasco Pepper Sauce
1/2 ts Salt
1 Clove Garlic, Cut In Half
1 Piece Lemon Zest, About 1"
1/4 c Vanilla Yogurt
This simple but rather exotic composed salad marries crisp fresh vegetables
and smooth tofu with a spicy peanut dressing for an unusual Indonesian
inspired taste. ~
~ Steam the beans, cabbage and carrots for 2 to 3 minutes,
or until tender-crisp, and cool. Arrange the cooked vegetables, cucumber,
sprouts and tofu on a serving platter.
In a small saucepan, mix the peanut butter, water, lemon juice, Tabasco
sauce, salt, garlic and lemon peel; stir over low heat until smooth. Remove
from the heat and discard the garlic and lemon zest. Stir in the yogurt.
Serve the dressing warm over the salad.
Lagniappe - One-quarter teaspoon of Tabasco sauce perks up any salad
dressing. Use more for a spicier taste.
