• 2 Tablespoons (20 g) roasted peanuts
• 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) canola oil, optional

• ½ cup (15 g) fresh mint leaves
• 1 cups (30 g) mung bean sprouts

Directions

1. Cook rice noodles as instructed on packaging. Strain and cool.
2. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the blade base. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 10 seconds.

Notes

Use this vinaigrette as a marinade for fish, beef, or other recipes where you would like to add an Asian flavor. Multiply this recipe by 3 or 4 if using a traditional Vitamix container. We are using dates in this recipe to add a little sweetness to the vinaigrette instead of granulated sugar.
