How do you make Thai Peanut Sauce?

It’s as easy as combining everything in a bowl!

In a medium bowl, mix:

• peanut butter
• rice vinegar
• soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• honey (or agave nectar)
• lime juice
• ginger
• sesame oil
• garlic
• red chili flakes
• S&P

If the dressing feels too thick, thin it with water until you reach your preferred consistency.

To make a spicy Thai peanut dressing, add more red chili flakes to taste.

To make this peanut dressing vegan, substitute agave nectar for honey.

To make a healthy Thai Peanut Dressing, use all-natural peanut butter with no sugar added. You can also reduce the honey or agave nectar.
