I was in a creative mood yesterday and had lots of veggies hanging out wanting to be eaten. The snow was falling and I have a column coming up soon that will require some recipes. So. I went for it. One recipe (which I won't be able to share til after March 10th or so) required Coconut Whipped Cream. I love Trader Joe's brand. It's almost fully coconut cream and little to no water so it doesn't require days of chilling to separate. However, I didn't have TJ's on hand and had another brand in my fridge where it had been for months. No issues with separation there. But there was probably four ounces of water in the can.
I hate to waste it, I gave half to the dogs. They totally love it. And I made a dressing for a gourmet salad blend.
Easy Thai Dressing
2 ounces of coconut water or light coconut milk
1 TBSP peanut butter
1/2 to 1 tsp siracha sauce or hot pepper sauce of choice
1/2 to 1 tsp of lemon juice
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Nice and flavorful.
