Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. The mixture will be thick at this stage.
Add the red pepper flakes, lime juice, and water to the bowl. Whisk again until the vinaigrette reaches your desired consistency. Add more water, one teaspoon at a time, if a thinner texture is preferred.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning by adding the salt as needed. Feel free to adjust the other ingredients to your taste preference (e.g., more lime juice for tanginess or honey for sweetness).
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container for storage, or use it immediately on your favorite salad, vegetables, or protein.
Refrigerate unused vinaigrette for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before using as ingredients may separate over time.
