Preparation Time: 5 Minutes.
Each Serving of Thai Peanut Dressing/Sauce contains 70 Cal.

Ingredients:

¼ Cup Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp Lime juice
1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 Tbsp Low-sodium Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Honey (or maple syrup or agave)
1 Tsp Olive oil/Sesame oil
1 Tsp Sriracha
¼ Tsp Ginger, grated
¼ Tsp Garlic, grated
1-2 Tbsp Water(or you can use coconut milk too), if needed

Instructions:

Place all the ingredients In a food processor or blender.
Blend/Pulse until smooth, creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides a few times.
If you’d like to make your dressing thinner, just add a little more water.
Keep in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
If the dressing is too thick, simply add coconut milk/water one tsp at a time to thin it out to the desired consistency.
I have used this dressing to make colorful vegetable salads. Enjoy!!!

This is a versatile recipe that can be used as a sauce, dip, or marinade.

Use it-

As a marinade for Paneer, Chicken, or Tofu.
A dip for veggies.
Or a spring roll dip.
Mix it into some rice.

Tips:

If peanut butter is very thick, then microwave it for about 15 seconds before blending so that it’s smooth enough to blend with all the other ingredients.
Adjust the sauce as your taste. You can make it saltier, sweeter, spicier as you like!
You can double this sauce if you want. I recommend making it before you need it, but it stores in your fridge for up to a week.
If you’re allergic to peanuts, you can swap peanuts with almonds, tahini, sunflower seed butter and they’ll all work as a great base.
