It was okay. I subbed the canola oil for water as someone else suggested. The vinegar sort of overpowered the rest of the flavors. I used whole wheat angel hair pasta. It was good, but probably wouldn't use again. I have easier and tastier peanut sauce dressings.

Not awful, but I wasn't excited about it. The sauce seemed a little thick, and it wasn't quite my taste.

This is edible but totally blah. I agree that it needs some lime juice or something to brighten it up. My taste buds actually yawned while eating this.
