Notes
- The amount of water you'll need to add will depend on how thick your peanut butter is and how thick or thin you'd like the dressing to be. If you're using it as a dip, you may not want to add any water.
- This salad dressing will thicken a little in the fridge. Mix in some water to thin it, if needed.
- This is not a sweet salad dressing. If you'd like, you can add a little maple syrup or honey to sweeten it.
