Asian Salad Dressing :: MSG , Gluten, & Soy Free

There is just nothing like the anticipation of spring and fresh raw veggies to go with it! I am getting rather ansty to see our snow go away although we have a good month left.

If you follow my dinner plans on Facebook, or my girls’ lunch posts on Instagram, you probably have seen I’ve been on a salad kick lately. That is some because I truly am craving them – I think my body is ready for a spring cleanse. And it is some because in the winter there isn’t a lot of other produce options around here!

I usually make a container of salad dressing for the fridge every Sunday to last us the week. My husband takes his staple Caesar dressing to work every week (don’t ask him to veer from this comfort zone either!) and I have quite a few other popular store bought brands converted into real food salad dressings that we make often.

This one…is momma’s dressing though.

My girls will eat it although it is probably not as exciting to them as Ranch or the bright red French dressing I make.

I know you know by know my love affair with all things Asian cuisine so this dressing has my favorite flavors all whisked together in 2 minutes flat (because I still have a teething baby at my hip – I don’t have time for long drawn out recipes all the time!).

I created it as a spin off from my Thai peanut sauce, and it is dresses up salad greens or any other veggie in such a flavorful way. It is also SO good drizzled over shredded beef in a sandwich wrap!
