Moo's Peanut Butter and Pepper Sauce

There's something about a good peanut butter sauce. This is a palate pleaser...Asian style!

2 T peanut butter
3 T warm water
2 T soy sauce
1 T cider vinegar
2 T sesame oil
1 t. cayenne pepper
2 t. sugar
1/2 t. salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 T scallions, finely chopped

Combine peanut butter with warm water to make a smooth, thin sauce. Then combine the remaining ingredients except the garlic and scallion into a very smooth dressing. Add garlic and scallion just before serving.

Moo's Curry Salad Dressing

Actually, Moo and I created this one together. It's our effort to recreate the salad dressing we used to enjoy at a small French restaurant in Westport, Connecticut, back in the 60s. I just love this. It's a palate pleaser...no doubt about that.

½ T G. Washington bouillon
1 cup salad oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T curry powder
¼ t. Worcestershire sauce
6-8 dashes Tabasco sauceDissolve bouillon in ¼ cup hot water. Add oil and other ingredients. Chill. Shake well before using.
