  • About

Salad dressings made with egg whites are new to the Lowcountry, brought on by the health crazes of recent years. The peanuts and peppers in this one give it a Lowcountry flavor. Toss it over any sort of salad greens or over blanched asparagus or green beans.

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites
  • juice of 2 small lemons (¼ cup)

Method

Beat the egg whites, lemon juice, red pepper, and oil together until the dressing is uniformly creamy. Chop the peanuts roughly but evenly in a food processor, working in a series of quick bursts so as not to render the nuts oily. Add the nuts to the dressing and mix in. Season with salt and pepper.
