Description

A creamy and flavorful peanut butter dressing that can be used in salads, dips, or as a sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 lime (2-3 Tbsp juice)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger root, grated
  • 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 24 Tbsp water, as needed to thin it out

Instructions

  1. Grate the fresh ginger using a citrus zester and mince or grate the fresh garlic clove. Add the dressing ingredients to a large bowl or measuring cup.
  2. Give it a quick whisk until everything is well combined and emulsified. Add one tablespoon of warm water at a time until it gets to the consistency you prefer.
  3. If you like a creamier dressing, you can blend the ingredients in a food processor or blender instead.

Notes

  • To make the peanut butter easier to mix, you can heat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
