Ingredients
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce

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.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Give it a good shake or stir before using.
Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
