Description

This peanut dressing is super creamy from the peanut butter, packed with spice from the ginger and garlic and has just the right amount of spice from the chili flakes. All in all, this spicy peanut dressing recipe will become your new favorite. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp Peanut butter or Sunflower butter
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce or Amino Acids
  • 1 tbsp Honey or Maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic, finely grated
  • 2 tsp Ginger, finely grated
  • ½ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
  • ½ tsp Chili flakes ((feel free to use more))
  • Water, if needed to thin the dressing

Instructions

  1. Add the peanut butter or sunflower butter into a bowl, along with the honey, amino acids, lemon juice, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and spices. Give this a good mix. Note that the dressing will almost look like it’s separated, but don’t worry, this is totally normal.
  2. Next pour in the water and gently whisk to combine. Continue to whisk until the water is completely mixed into the dressing. If the peanut dressing is still too thick, continue to whisk in tiny amounts of water until it reaches a consistency you like. 
  3. Once the dressing has become silky smooth and dark in color, it’s done. Adjust for salt before using!
