Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Creamy almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Water (to thin, if needed)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, lime juice, rice vinegar, and maple syrup until well combined.
Add the creamy almond butter to the bowl and whisk it in gradually, ensuring it blends smoothly with the liquid ingredients.
Stir in the sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to incorporate the flavors.
If the dressing is too thick for your preference, add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking in between until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust the lime juice, sweetness (maple syrup), or spice level (red pepper flakes) to your liking.
Serve immediately as a salad dressing, dipping sauce, or drizzle over noodle dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
