  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon Asian hot chili oil

Instructions

  1. For the vinaigrette:
  2. Put the vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, peanut butter, chili oil, honey and sesame oil in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the canola oil until emulsified. If the vinaigrette is too thick, thin with a little warm water. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  3. For the salad:
