Peanut dressing is a creamy, savory, and slightly tangy sauce with a perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and salty flavors. It’s quick to make and ideal for salads, noodles, and dipping.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons warm water (to thin)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes or sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and sesame oil.
  2. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger.
  4. Gradually add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Add chili flakes or sriracha if you want a bit of heat.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Use immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Add rice vinegar for extra tanginess.
  • Use coconut milk instead of water for a richer texture.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Stir in warm water if the dressing thickens over time.
  • Works well as a dip, sauce, or salad dressing.
