Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl or a food processor, add creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, minced fresh ginger, and minced garlic.
Add the sriracha sauce for a touch of heat, adjusting the amount to taste if a spicier dressing is desired.
Start by adding 2 tablespoons of water and whisk or blend the mixture until smooth. Gradually add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding more soy sauce for saltiness, lime juice for acidity, or honey for sweetness.
