Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced or grated)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, lime juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and toasted sesame oil.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and red chili flakes (if using) to the bowl. Stir to evenly distribute the flavors.
Gradually whisk in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the vinaigrette reaches your desired consistency. It should be pourable but not too thin.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice for tanginess, honey for sweetness, or soy sauce for saltiness.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week. Shake or stir before use.
