Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen French-cut green beans, thawed
- 1 head frisee
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
Dressing:
- 1 jalapeno, seeded, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons jarred chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon jarred sliced ginger
- 1/2 bunch scallions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 1/2 (4.25-ounce) can cream of coconut (recommended: Coco Lopez)
- 1 (18-ounce) jar creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 (8.5-ounce) jar hoisin sauce
- 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Thaw green beans in a colander and pat dry to remove excess water. Clean frisee and cut into bite sized pieces and set aside.
In a food processor, add the jalapeno, garlic, ginger and scallions. Process and add the sesame oil to form a paste. Transfer paste to a large bowl and whisk in cream of coconut. Whisk in peanut butter; gradually whisk in water until consistency is a smooth, thick sauce. Whisk in hoisin, soy sauce and cilantro. This recipe will make more dressing than you need for the salad; reserve extra dressing in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for other uses.
Toss green beans and frisee and with enough dressing to coat. Garnish with roasted peanuts. Serve immediately.

First off, the items were hard to find, considering they aren't commonly used, so nobody has a clue as to what it is/where it is. Hoisin sauce? Dark sesame oil..light/dark, who knew there was a difference? And the can cream of coconut?! It's like an instant pina colada.
I took a chance, and unfortunately, it a disappointment. It's NOT dressing. It's more of a thick paste.
In short, The combination of the ingredients is nauseating!! Such a gross after-taste because everything in it individually is a lot of flavor--all combined is a disaster.!! YUCK!!!
bon appetit!

. . . heavy for a frilly green like frisee. As several reviewers have pointed out, this is more of a peanut sauce than a salad dressing (though not pad thai sauce - that's a whole different thing altogether. I thinned mine out with a lot of hot water, then cooled it before putting it on the greens. It was OK, but no better than a bottled Asian salad dressing . . . which would have been much cheaper!

Frisee was too bitter & the amount of peanut butter was too much.
