Citrusy, perfumed, and utterly delicious, this lemongrass dressing is astonishingly good, and works as amarinade for chickenand a heavenly dressing for salads orroasted vegetables.

I prefer to make mine using good-qualitylemongrass pasteto save on chopping time (look for one that has at least 40% fresh lemongrass in the ingredients). If using fresh lemongrass, you can speed things up by blending it in asmall food processor.
