Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Minced ginger
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Optional: chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. You may use less or more water depending on how thick you prefer the dressing.
Taste and adjust the flavor as needed—add an extra splash of soy sauce for saltiness, more honey for sweetness, or more Sriracha for added heat.
If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Whisk or shake well before each use to ensure the dressing is fully emulsified.
