Asian lime dressing
When making dressing from scratch, the knife prep is what takes the most time. When you do it with your KitchenAid® 400 blender, however, prep almost goes away and clean up is a snap. Plus, the flavors of this asian-inspired dressing are perfect for everything from a simple green salad, to a dressing for rice noodles, or even for basting grilled meats in before serving.
