Note

Storage: Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The peanuts may soften over time; for best texture, add them right before serving or store the dressing and peanuts separately.

Variations: For a smoother consistency, blend the dressing without the peanuts and sprinkle them on top as a garnish. You can also add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter profile.

Serving Suggestions: This dressing pairs excellently with Asian-style green salads, cold noodles, grilled chicken, pork, or tofu. It also works well as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or edamame.

Allergy Alert: This recipe contains peanuts and soy. For those with allergies, substitute peanut oil with sunflower oil and peanuts with toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
