Peanut Sauce
This amazing peanut sauce recipe makes for a fantastic dip, salad dressing or sauce for rice noodle dishes. It’s incredibly easy to make and has a perfect blend of sweetness, citrus and spice.
Thai cuisine is one of my favorites to play around with. I never thought peanut butter could turn into something this delicious until I tried it one day at a Thai restaurant; I was instantly inspired and wanted to create my own version as soon as I got home. After various attempts over many years, I finally figured out the perfect portion of each ingredient and have the best peanut sauce recipe to share with you all. Everyone in my family just loves this recipe with pretty much anything! It goes especially well with this Thai salad.

Just made this and it is yummy! I plan to make the Thai Salad tonight to go with it. I made a couple changes to the recipe. I did not have soy sauce so uses Liquid Aminos instead. Also, I did not put in the dried red chili as I was concerned it may be too hot for my husband and me. Looking forward to the Thai Salad tonight!
