This easy, delicious Thai Peanut Dressing is made from mostly pantry ingredients and is delicious on salads, grilled chicken, or for dipping your favorite appetizers.
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). If the dressing is too thick, thin with water, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Notes
Peanut butter: I love Crazy Richard’s brand peanut butter because it is made with only peanuts (no added sugars or palm oil) and they support American peanut farmers, using only 100% US-grown peanuts. If you're ambitious, you can certainly make homemade peanut butter which might be even better.
Rice vinegar: Or substitute apple cider vinegar.
Honey: For a vegan version, substitute agave nectar or maple syrup (the flavor will change).
Yield: This recipe makes 1 cup dressing, enough for 8 servings (2 tablespoons each). 1 recipe of dressing will dress 8-10 cups salad.
Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator and use within 4 days.
