(I used the Vitamix ONE to make the dressing.) I had been looking for a good, simple Thai curry dressing and this fits the request! Very tasty and will definitely keep this one in the rotation.

How long does the ‘dressing’ last for? Thinking of pairing with coconut rice and asparagus but know I will have plenty left over.

Hi Sarah, can you recommend replacement for peanuts? .

We usually keep homemade dressings in a sealed container for 7-10 days refrigerated.

Tiffany, you can try cashews, but the flavor of the peanut plays a pretty key role here.

What kind of coconut milk is used? Is it the kind in a can or the kind that replaces regular milk in the larger rectangle cartons? TIA!

Hi Sarah, the coconut milk is the kind you get in a can. You want that thickness. We buy the low-fat version otherwise it’s kind of a calorie bomb.
