Ingredients & Variations
PEANUT BUTTER It doesn’t matter if you have creamy, crunchy, or homemade peanut butter on hand! No matter what you use, it will turn out delicious, guaranteed!
SPICES It can have a bit of zip or be mild. Add more or less ginger or red pepper flakes! So start small and add more as you go. Keep in mind that the spices get stronger the longer the dressing sits!
HONEY Honey, agave, corn syrup, or maple syrup are all great options. They can change the flavor and consistency of your dressing so adjust the recipe accordingly. Make sure to taste test along the way to reach your desired sweetness as well!
VINEGAR The best vinegar for this recipe is rice wine vinegar. You can use any you have on hand in a pinch, but it will change the flavor of the dressing slightly.
How to Make Peanut Dressing
This sauce is a one-step wonder!
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly.
Voila! That’s all there is to it!
How to Store it
Store peanut dressing in a container with a tightly fitted lid, or use a salad dressing bottle or cruet.
- REFRIGERATE. It will last about 2-3 days in the refrigerator when stored in a proper container. But it will get used up long before then!
- FREEZE. Peanut dressing can also be frozen but it might be a little runny once it is thawed. That’s okay. Thicken it with a little more peanut butter if needed!
