--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                       Mixed Salad Greens
                       Peanut Oil
                       Rice Vinegar
                       Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
                       Thai Fish Sauce -- * see note
                       Brown Sugar
                       Chopped -- fresh cilantro
                       Chopped Fresh Red Thai Chile Pepper -- * see note
                       Green Onions -- sliced thin
                       Peanut Butter
                       Chopped Roasted Peanuts

Essentially, this is just a peanutty vinagrette dressing that
I made in the food processor. I added the liquid ingredients
first, until it looked like the right mix of oil to acidic liquids
(rice vinegar and lime juice). Then I added the rest of the
ingredients and processed for a few seconds. From there
I just went by appearance and taste, adding more liquid or
peanut butter to get the right consistency, and more of each
of the other ingredients for other various characteristics--
sweetness, saltiness, acidity, spiciness. We served the salad
dressing on the side with the salad, and provided extra chopped
peanuts, cilantro, and green onions to let people add their own
to taste.
