Peanut Salad Dressing 

I dont know about you all, but this Thai Peanut Salad dressing is one of my regular kitchen staples. It’s a creamy, delicious, and healthy salad dressing without any harmful preservatives. 

If you are a peanut butter lover then it’s the sauce for you! A good peanut butter dressing is always at the top, but especially when you tweak it to tha Thia-style with a drizzle of lime juice, a hint of hot sauce or sriracha, and with a slight kick of ginger – it’s totally irresistible! 

It’s a great dressing to pour over your favorite salad or a boring slaw, BONUS- it also tastes amazing when paired with any grilled or pan-fried protein, stirs fry veggies, just anything!

Ingredients for Thai Peanut Dressing 

It’s as easy and quick as combining everything in a bowl. Whisk everything in a bowl or feel free to toss in a blender or a food processor. Make sure to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving it.

How long does peanut sauce last?

This Thai peanut dressing will easily stay well in the fridge for at least a week. The dressing will thicken when it’s cold, you can adjust the consistency of the dressing by adding some water or coconut milk to it. Do not add excess water at once, make sure to add water little by little until it returns to its pourable state.
