Container for pouring and storing
- 3 peaches medium sized ripe, but still a little firm, cut into quarters or size suitable for your blender
- 1/2 x 2 in ginger peeled and sliced crosswise 1/8 slices ginger has long fibers. Slicing thinly crosswise helps keep it from being stringy after blending
- 4 Tbls lime juice juice of 2 limes
- 1/2–2 red jalapeno or 1/2–2 red serrano or 2–6 red thai chiles seeds and membranes removed
- 1-3 tsps maple syrup (optional) or 2–4 pitted and soaked dates
Place all of the ingredients except the hot peppers in the blender cup or blender.
Blend well and and start adding the hot pepper, taste and add more pepper as desired. Blend until smooth.
Blend in the maple or pitted dates if using.
The dressing is ready to use. It will store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
SOS Free option: Use 2–4 pitted dates in place of maple syrup if a sweetener is needed. The dates will blend smoother if they have been soaked for 30 minutes or more before blending. You may need to add a little water (2–3 Tbls) to get the right consistency to easily dress the noodles.
