Mmm. Peanut butter/vinegar/soy sauce salad dressing.

[Tallison]

Anyone else got a favorite?

[KitchenWitch]

1. Ginger - peanut - rice wine vinegar - chili oil - sesame oil

[Tallison]

2. Oh, wish I had some ginger...

That always goes well with peanuts. Wonder if a lime splash would confuse it to a fault? :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

3. I think lime would be too acidy

especially since you already have vinegar.

[Tallison]

6. Right, right. Cooking's nothing if not chemistry.

[KitchenWitch]

7. LOL

Actually cooking is an art, and baking is a science!

:rofl:

[CBGLuthier]

20. That's the one we use

Toss it with some fresh cooked chinese noodles. Good, easy and cheap.

:-)

4. Marie Rose sauce (recipe)

Use salad dressing or mayo, whichever you prefer. Add enough ketchup to bring it to a beautiful pink color. Splash in a dollop of lemon juice and a dash of Worchestershire sauce. Adjust to taste.

5. OOH that sounds GOOOOOOOOD!

I bet you could use that as a marinade as well!

[BikeWriter]

9. It's super as a salad dressing. I've never tried it as a marinade.

[Tallison]

8. What do you use it on?

[BikeWriter]

10. I love it on seafoods of all kinds, salads, fries, chicken nuggets...

Sandwiches. In Ireland its especially used on shrimp. Cut an avocado in half and spoon some in the middle, mix, then eat. Delicious!

[Tallison]

11. Seems to be some Scots-Irish/Southern culinary connection

Judging from your post and my mom's cooking, being as she was from Virginia's Appalachia :9

[BikeWriter]

14. I can recall my Father mixing this to serve with shrimp and fish...

more than fifty years ago. I believe he said he'd copied it from "Gaido's", a popular and expensive seafood eatery on Galveston's seawall. We simply called it pink sauce. It was only after I looked the ingredients up on the internet(s) I found it has a name and history.
I do encourage you to try it; it is a longtime family favorite. My Brother in Law loves it so much he'll mix a jar to take with them when he and my Sister go out to eat seafood. I'll even mix some just to dip garlic bread in.

[Floogeldy]

12. Yes.

Peanut butter and honey sandwich.

;)

[Tallison]

13. Notice how peanut butter goes with everything?

For such a specific flavor, it sure is yummy and versatile.

[AVulgarianHue]

17. Peanut butter and..

liverwurst sandwich. Scrumptious. Might only work when odd overpowering cravings arise.

[Tallison]

19. Hmm...and when might that be?

:smoke:

[orleans]

15. ranch

or french quarter

(call me old fashioned)

[Tallison]

18. Please, tell me what's in French Quarter

I'm a sucker for bleu cheese, also; ranch I save for dipping

[orleans]

22. french quarter--i buy it from the jewel food store

ingredients:
(hold on--i'll go read the bottle)
minutes passed...
"buttermilk (cultured lowfat milk, salt, natural flavor), mayonnaise (soybean oil, eggs, water, vinegar, salted egg yolks (egg yolks, salt) sugar, salt, spices, garlic, spices, xanthan gum as a stabilizer, dextrose, carrageenan as a stablizer"

sounds kinda creepy when you read all this weird stuff but it has a ranch like flavor, smooth, easier.

[Tallison]

23. Sounds like Miracle Whip for the discriminating, regional pallate

No wonder folks buy it pre-prepared. Mayo-like concoctions are a bitch to create from scratch.

Thanks for the info; I'll keep my eye out for the stuff.

:hi:

[neweurope]

16. Olive oil - balsamico - garlic - parmesan cheese - oregano

VERY good on pasta salad

When I have absolutely no time: Good mayonnaise and Worcestershire Sauce. Goes with pasta or rice, tuna, chicken, meat salads.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[Tallison]

21. And if you puree those the oil and other ingredients emulsify

and you wind up with a creamy version for salad. Never heard of the mayo and worcestershire sauce. Gonna have to try that and BikeWriter's pink sauce a above.
