How to Make the Best Peanut Dressing
This Thai-inspired peanut dressing is the perfect way to elevate your salads, slaws, and grain bowls. With its vibrant combination of fresh citrus, aromatic ginger, and creamy peanut butter, it strikes the ideal balance between nutty richness and bright, zesty flavors. A touch of heat from sambal or sriracha adds just enough warmth without overpowering the other ingredients.
What makes this dressing so versatile is its ability to complement a wide range of dishes. Toss it with shredded cabbage and carrots for a quick Asian slaw, drizzle it over grilled chicken or tofu, or use it as a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls. The combination of toasted sesame oil and fresh ginger gives it that authentic Thai flavor that’s hard to resist.
Best of all, this dressing comes together in just five minutes with a blender—no cooking required. Make a batch at the beginning of the week and you’ll have a delicious, restaurant-quality dressing ready to go whenever you need it.
