Cusabi Dressing Recipes

WASABI CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• Get Blending! After chopping your veggies, add all the above ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
• The dressing will thicken after spending a little time in the fridge and you can also add 1-2 tablespoons of greek yogurt to thicken immediately. I like my dressings a bit more runny since they cover more ground (aka veggies!) that way. Enjoy!

WASABI RANCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix 3/4 cup ranch dressing, 1/2 cup grated cucumber, the juice of 1/2 lemon and 1 tablespoon wasabi paste. Season with salt.

GREEN BEAN FRIES WITH CUCUMBER WASABI DIP

Steps:

• Blend ranch dressing, cucumber, 1 tablespoon milk, horseradish, vinegar, wasabi powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper together in a food processor until dip is smooth. Transfer dip to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Bring water and chicken broth to a boil; add green beans and cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs, French-fried onions, 3/4 teaspoon salt, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder together in a separate bowl. Place flour in a third bowl.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Press green beans in flour until evenly coated. Dip coated green beans in egg-milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip back into bowl. Transfer green beans to bread crumbs mixture and press to coat, shaking off excess. Arrange coated beans in 1 layer on a plate or in a colander.
• Working in batches, fry coated green beans in the hot oil until crisp, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Transfer green bean fries to a paper towel-lined colander using a slotted spoon. Serve green bean fries with dip.
