Peanut Dressing
Peanut Dressing is a smooth, balanced sauce combining natural peanut butter, tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, sriracha, garlic, and ginger. It blends nutty, tangy, sweet, and spicy elements, suitable for drizzling over greens or as a dip. The dressing can be whisked quickly by hand and stored chilled for up to five days.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter 40 grams, all-natural
- 2 tablespoons tamari (27 grams; gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (25 grams)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (40 grams)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil 13 grams, toasted
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (16 grams; optional for spice)
- 1 garlic minced (3 grams, clove
- 1 inch ginger minced (3 grams, fresh
Instructions
- In a bowl or mason jar, add in all of the ingredients. I use a microplane to finely mince the garlic and ginger directly into the bowl.
- Use a whisk to mix everything together until smooth. Taste, and adjust any seasoning as needed.
- Serve right away over your favorite greens, or place a lid on the mason jar and store it in the fridge until ready to use. It may thicken up when chilled, but you can add 1 tablespoon of water to help thin it out again. This will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
- The dressing keeps in the refrigerator for up to five days; it thickens when chilled but can be thinned with water before serving.
- Use a microplane to mince fresh garlic and ginger finely for smooth texture and stronger flavor.
- Substitute tamari for gluten-free soy sauce to keep the dressing gluten free.
