Fun Peanut Dressing

September 19, 2018 by christine

Miko loves his Lambchop toys so much I have to buy them in 3-packs to have backups on hand when one gets destroyed or is in the wash. He has a basket full of them that he loves to dig through and pick one for our evening toy throwing session.

I dug out an ingredient I haven’t used in awhile for this fun, healthier take on a classic dressing – peanut butter. I adore creamy salad dressings much more than oily or greasy ones, whole fat/veggie based dressings seem to add so much more to colorful salads.  And the fun amount of tangy flare in this dressing is perfect for a huge meal salad.

Fun Thai Peanut Dressing

  • 2 tbsp. peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp. lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. miso paste
  • 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup
  • ½” chunk of fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp. tahini
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • ¼ cup water, as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 4 servings.

Fresh ginger, garlic, miso, tahini, peanut butter and, well, this dressing is a tangy, kicky, and sweet party of flavors with a creamy texture perfect for coating.

And you can customize it by adding as much red pepper flakes as you like.

I like to think your health and taste buds win with this recipe.

    This is fabulous; I always have too much peanut butter on hand and really need to work down the pantry. Thank you!

    LOVE the flavors in this dressing. It’s only 7:00 in the morning and I’m craving a salad. LOL!
