- chop up the banana and stick it in a blender
- finely dice the sun-dried tomatoes into tiny bits (minced)
- put some water (1 ounce or so) in a glass and place in the microwave for a few seconds until it boils and remove
- pour the sun dried tomato bits into the glass and mash into the water, and let it stand until cooler (room temp or a little above is OK)
- pour the tomatoes into the blender along with the banana, add in a rounded teaspoon of tomato paste, and blend for a short time on liquefy
- squeeze in about a teaspoon of lime juice (the juice that comes in the little green plastic lime is OK)
- add about a teaspoon of Xanthan gum
- add a teaspoon of Splenda.
- now here is the real trick; Place the blender on low speed, and slowly add in a full teaspoon of wasabi powder. As soon as it is incorporated, stop blending and let it sit for a minute. Taste test it, and adjust the recipe to your own taste. I use more wasabi until I can feel it somewhat hot on my tongue.
"Feel the sweet burn!" This is a great dressing on spinach and other salads, fruit salad, etc.
Don't forget to add the spices slowly, tasting as you go, so it fits your pallet in the end!
